Rose was not only my previous sister in law but also a very close friend in high school. We shared lots of laughs and good times. She had a wonderful heart and soul and a beautiful smile to match it. We raised our children together and spent alot of time at each others house. Her laugh was contagious and her kindness was always shown in the way she treated others. We will truly miss her and send our deepest sympathy to her husband, Lana and all the loved ones she left behind. May God comfort you and give you strength at this time. Love Rick and Rindi Miller
Deepest Sympathy for the entire family. Rosie and I were born a month apart and our parents were friends so we spent time together as children. I pray she is at peace now and you all find comfort in the lord. You will be in thought and prayer, Shelly Aiken Weller

Randy, I am very sorry to hear of your wife’s passing. I never met your wife but, could
tell by the way you spoke of her you two had great love for each other. Find comfort in
the Lord and know you will always have an angel by your side.
I knew Rosie from her Grandma Turner. She and my sister played together when she lived with her Grandma Turner.
To Rosie’s family – may you find strength and healing in the memories of the life you shared.
