Oh Bev, I know there is not much I can say that will help heal your broken heart, but I do know that your Mom is dancing away in Heaven right now! What a glorious entrance she had into those pearly gates! And she is safely in the arms of her Lord and Savior...and also in the loving arms of your Dad once again! She is no longer in pain...but instead...she is happy and healthy and whole again! She knows you loved her dearly. You and your brother were such amazing children to her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. My heart is absolutely broken for all of you.

I enjoyed working with Rose at Marion for years. She was one of my favorite co-workers. She always knew where to find a file that nobody else could find. She was sweet, funny and dedicated to her job. I always looked forward to Christmas time because she would make us her famous Baklava. My prayers go out to her loved ones during this difficult time.
