That didn’t stop her from encouraging her child and other children of the family that she helped raise. She told some of the best stories you ever wanted to hear. Her stories had us children captivated during the whole time she was telling them. Rose was also a kind and loving caregiver of other children outside the home that she kept and loved so dear they became part of the family. She had a very tender heart with a soft voice.
