Rosie watched my siblings and me as youngsters while my mom and dad worked. She always welcomed our family into her/your home. I remember her smile, warmth and kindness. Sending the Vossmer/Costello family my sincerest sympathy.

Dear Family of Rose,
I was blessed to meet your BEAUTIFUL Mom at Meadowood where she was my roommate for 3 days before I was discharged. She was charming; had a wonderful sense of humor; a joy to talk with; and had a zest for life and a great love for her family. Also, I loved her feistiness that came out on occasion. I know she will be greatly missed. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
With Fond Memories,
Gayle Kenyon
