Suzanne and William,
Thank you so much for sharing your mother with me. She was such a joy to be around and she will be truly be missed. For those that knew Rose, they would say she was a kind, sweet, easy to please woman. It was such a joy to see Rose laugh or smile, her whole face would light up and the effect was like getting warmth from the sun. Rose was a very intelligent woman and she would remind me of this when she replied to a question. "How are you doing today Rose?" EXTREMELY good. She never just said yes or no, the answer would be flavoured. Sometimes it was just nice to listen to what she would say next. Rose, I miss you, but I know that you are in a good place now and one day I hope to see you again.
Thanks for the memories.
From Charmain Botchway and family
Please keep in touch Suzanne.

Suzanne,
Thinking of you and your family, this anniversary of my own mother's death, just 5 years ago today. Your mom left such a great legacy in you. Rose was as beautiful as her name. I will miss her when I'm at Sunrise visiting Dad. I hope you will stop in and visit Charlie, he so enjoyed your visits and was excited when you came through those doors.
