Her reproduction of small blooms produced James, (deceased), Barbara, Shirley, Debra, Valerie, Alida and Alexander, Jr., who will now carry on her legacy of spreading love, cheer and laughter. On any given day, Rose would sit on her front porch and friends and strangers would stop by to laugh, receive advice, and share in conversation, and just sit to and enjoy her companionship. Just as a rose is a beautiful lower with small prickly thorns that always speak a reality, which was always Rose’s way. “Tell you the truth”!! She loved you but would tell you the truth!! Noth- ing pleased her more than sitting and talking to her grandchildren. She would spend hours, sharing advice, listening and laughing. She understood how to relate to them. She would chastise them for bad decisions, but love them through any situation. Rose also was a pillar of strength, a lean- ing post to many. Her pastimes were ishing, playing cards and just talking to friends.
