Guestbook

  1. I played fast pitch softball several years with David and came to know Rose well enough to exchange Christmas cards each year. She was a lovely lady and will be missed. My prayers are with the family.

  2. She always made us feel at home when we came to visit. She loved all the kids and they loved her. My kids still remember having fun when we visited the Bowlerama. People would come from all around to get her home baked pies! She was a great lady to her family and her community, although she\’ll be missed she will also always be remembered. Love and prayers to all the family.

  3. Such a beautiful soul and wonderful person! I loved bowling with her on Tuesday night women\’s league and Thursday\’s mixed team night. She would fix the specials for the day in the restaurant and they were delicious! She will be missed! She is resting in peace now with David and her boys.
