I remember spending time with both your parents. Mom was a great hostess and helped new students to feel welcome and safe in a new environment. Hope you are comforted by the knowledge that many of us remember her and her wonderful cooking.

You have my sympathy on the loss of your mom. Remember your mom from College First. Loved her sense of humor and laugh. Missed her when she left. When was at Willow Ridge my uncle was there too. Would try to visit with your mom.

Rosie was a dear person...always ready with a cheerful smile and so personable. She truly cared about people. We were blessed to know her all those years she was the office secretary at College First Church of God in Findlay. Family, we are so sorry for your loss.

Oh, there are so many great memories of Aunt Rosie. Talking, and laughing, and playing cards. And of course, the concrete goose collage. May she rest in peace and continue the laughs in heaven. All my love to the family.

I have great memories of playing cards and socializing with Rosie over numerous holiday family gatherings. She was a tremendous pinochle (peanuckle) player and could beat anyone else in the family. I can also recall with great fondness the way she would lovingly greet my brother and I with a hug and kiss. She was a great and loving person.
