    So many memories some happy some sad and some just hilarious like the time she dropped a 5 pound ashtray on my dad's head in bed and he just grunted and rolled over. The next morning he was looking in the mirror trying to figure out how his hair got singed at which point she told him how his hair was smoldering and he slept through the ashtray dropping and her hurriedly was patting his head and he slept through it all! I loved what a great cook she was. She made the best fried chicken. We all love and miss you.

    Rose was a kind, patient, helpful soul. She helped me immensely early in my career and was my first legal assistant. I appreciated her kind ways and being very competent and skilled in her profession helping lawyers with their day to day work. She knew a great deal about the probate process as well. I'm thankful she was part of my life and career. She was also the type of person one would want for a next door neighbor. - Posted by John Stekly on November 17, 2023

    Rosie was the best mother-in-law a guy could ask for. For those who knew her well, she was a no nonsense type of woman that always had your back. She will be greatly missed & we will miss her more than anyone could imagine. She gave me my wife & best friend & I will forever be grateful 🙏 for that. Your son, (in-law) Chrissybear 💔💔 - Posted by Chris Tetreault on November 21, 2023

    Rosie was a very dear friend for many years. She was the most generous person I've ever known. She gave a little something to everyone in her life, even to her favorite grocery cashier, and truly got so much pleasure from doing so. She will definitely be missed by so many people. RIP Rosie. ❤️ - Posted by Vikki Kelner on November 26, 2023

    Rosie was a little bundle of energy with a wonderful sense of humor. How she loved her shopping. She would shop over her lunch hours and all the downtown merchants knew her by first name. Her love for the holidays was unmatched with her house decorated to the max. Kelly, you were her pride and joy always. The angels rejoiced when they came for her. I will miss you dear friend. Give Buddy a hug from me. - Posted by Judy Bieri on November 27, 2023
