Rose has been a caring friend to our
family for many years…first to our Mother, Bobbie Pound. They met at the
Black Mtn. Center, where Mother worked
& Rose spent many hours with Marie and
others she befriended. When the 2 of them cooked up a perfect match between our sister Mandy & Rose’s Gr.son Eddie,
Rose became a loving Grandmother to Mandy. I like to think the 2 Mothers are together again in Heaven, and will be watching over all of their children
with much joy. Rose was a wonderful person, and we will surely miss her.
Rose was such a grande lady! She was friends with everyone she met. She loved her family and was loved by them. I know she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
