Condolences
We will meet again and I'll be anxious for your hug!!
You are missed already. Your hugs were warm, your concern for others was always there, you were a good cook, you went over and above for your grandsons and thought of LIsa as more than a daughter, but a best friend. You showed great concern for others, even when you were the one who should have been being loved on. You have reached the streets of gold, life for you now is amazing and free of worry, pain and filled you with energy. You will never be forgotten. Love ya Rose.

To my Mother family
Miss Rose was a friend, mother, and prayer warrior for me. She had the gift of listening and calming of your spirit. She was a thoughtful and loving person. I hope to see again when she invites to her mansion on the Kings Highway in Heaven.
To the family, she will be missed but believe on the Son of Man, Jesus, as she did and you will SURELY see her again. It's God's Promise!
Master Titus, her adopted son
Friend
Sorry for your loss, Rose always showed her love for her family. Rose will be missed by friends and family.
Deepest Sympathy To Lisa, Paul & Grandsons
The last time I saw Rose in person was at St. John's Episcopal Church Bible School a couple of years ago. She was the same "ole Rose" with a warm smile and a hug. She will be missed by many but is at peace with her Lord.
Please accept our deepest sympathy but know she would want you to carry on.
Blessings to All. Linda & Ron Zynn
A Princess has been promoted to the Eternal Kingdom
Each time I think of sweet Rose I remember her beautiful eyes, kind face and her hug ministry. A hug from her made the day go better. I remember special times with her and her love for Jesus. Every Sunday she would make sure Bob and I were hugged. Sundays will be missing a beautiful princess sitting in the front row at church. Heaven has called this beautiful tiara wearing daughter home. Well done good and faithful servant!
Beautiful Smile
Playing on the worship team at Gap Community church, I ALWAYS looked forward to seeing Miss Rose sitting in the front table smiling at us. Her beautiful smile was always a source of strength and comfort. I will always look for Miss Rose at the front table and will always remember her, especially when I see PJ and Kaleb sitting up there. Good bless you, Rose. Our thoughts are with Lisa and the family.
Sweet Rose
Much sympathy to Lisa,Paul and sons. Rose was a caring and compassionate person. We will always remember how well she taught our children in Church school. She truly cared about her patients and her co-workers. We have many blessed memories. What a special angel.
Sweet rose
Our first meeting was in the "social Hall" of St. John's Church. She made me feel welcome, loved and wanted ! We sat together, singing alto for many years in the choir. We laughed a lot with Fr. Lorenz, especially when we hit the wrong notes. Well, Rose, there are no more "wrong notes" for you. Life was not always kind to you, but you always had a smile, a hug, or a sweet word for others.
Dear Lisa, please know we are here for you and your family. We will miss your mom, but she is singing and teaching those cherubs the most beautiful songs.
Love, Suzanne, Ursula and Marc Turpin
