Rose, I sure do miss you my friend. I will never forget all the wonderful chats you and I had at work. Fashion talks, relationship talks, career talks, children talks and Women's health talks. When I moved to the basement last year we didn't visit as much but you did come see me once a week to deliver the paper. We would then find a few minutes in our busy day to talk. The simple bottle of asprin you brought me as a concern for my heart heath brought tears to me just knowing how much you really cared. I am taking one a day :) The concern you showed when a dear loved one of mine passed when no one else seemed to realize how much his passing hurt. Thank you my friend for being such a caring beautiful Women that I had the pleasure to know for 10 years.You will always hold a special place in my heart.

Dear Ron and family, I have had the pleasure of being one of Rose's neighbor's. Always with a smile and wave as she went by my home on her way to work. She was very much there for me when my husband passed away three yrs ago and was such a help whenever I had to call her at work with questions. She will be missed by many!

Ron, Dave, Michelle, Chris, Alan and Addison, I am so sorry for your loss. Rose always offered a listening ear for all of us who stopped by during high school. She also welcomed our sleep overs and put up with our teenage angst. Your mom, wife and grandmother will be missed. I will always remember her beautiful smile. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Rose leaves a huge space that she filled with her joy and kindness that is now filled with our loving memories. She is never far in thoughts or heart as we learn to adjust to this new "relationship." I know she will help us along, patiently accompanying us as we learn to pick up on her energy. Thank you, Rose, for sharing your friendship and love while in this physical form.

Rose will truly be missed! I will never be able to look at the cute little pansy "faces" and not think of her! She always had something lovely blooming!

Rose-South Haven Health System will not be the same without you. You were such a beautiful woman and always tried to do the "right thing" in everything you ever did. I've heard nothing but good things about you from our patients that have been coming in asking about you and from all of our outside vendors. You will truly be missed by so many. RIP my friend.

Rose, we met via sad circumstances, your compassion, caring, and instant understanding of what was needed to help at that time, made me feel I had met a soul-mate. You will be sadly missed.

We are so sorry to hear of Rose's passing. We had no idea she was ill. I last saw her at the hospital in February and she looked as beautiful as ever. Our sincere condolences.

Rose's passing is truly saddening. It really makes you want to cherish your loved ones knowing how quickly someone can go from here to gone. While I am glad she is no longer suffering, I am sad that she will no longer be with us. She will be greatly missed at SHHS. Rest in peace, lovely Rose.

Everywhere I look, I see reminders of Rose...especially in the many people she has helped in the Cashier's Office. So many people have been touched by her kindness and concern. I will especially miss our conversations at lunchtime at "the changing of the guard". Rose always tried to do the best for each of our patients, always the extra effort. She will certainly be missed. Although I know she is at peace, it will be difficult to not see her there each day... My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.... Geri

Dear Family of Rosemary, I am so sorry for your loss. I was shocked and saddened, for the world has lost one of "the good ones". I knew Rose from working at the hospital. Rose assisted me in so many ways. Her knowlege was immense. Those who knew Rose, understood her capacity for caring and empathy. I will miss her smile. God bless you all and may he lead you thru and beyond this sad time. Linda S.

I returned from my vacation in Florida yesterday and found out the sad news about Rose. I will miss talking with her everyday. She was a wonderful person and a great employee. I will always remember her and that she liked my strawberry pies and sugar cookies. She was a beautiful person on the inside and outside. I remember conversations we had when she was going to be a grandmother and her excitement. I will miss you dearly.

Ron and family, our thoughts are with you; I know this is not a journey you were expecting at this time in life. Both of us knew Rose through her work world, and know that she had a quiet impact on many people's lives. Her gracious, patient, concerned manner always left me with a sense of relief when I sat down in her office with my trivial and repetitive questions a bout medicare billing! She always took the extra time to find out the answers, and to clarify anything that wasn't clear. She will be greatly missed by many people in the community. The Ohnsmans

I'm SO sorry for your loss. I worked with Rose the past 4 1/2 years at South Haven Hospital. She was more that just a coworker and I will Greatly miss seeing her smiling face. This is Not the way I wanted to say "Goodbye" to someone who I would be honored to have as a friend, Always smiling, Friendly, Concernerd about others before yourself, asking about Alex and offering advice, even offering me a place to say if the weather got too bad to drive home no matter how late if was...What I wouldn't give to be able to say "Hello" one last time...you were put on this earth to help people and she has touched more lives than anyone will ever know...

Rose, thank you for being such a wonderful woman...you have always shown my daughter and I kindness & compassion. I will never forget your genuine concern for my daughter. You were always eager to listen and offer words of support and encouragement throughout my difficult journey with my daughter's medical issues. Just knowing you were there lending an ear and words of support was always very comforting to me and I appreciate you for that. It will be difficult to continue this journey without you, I will think of you often. You will be missed.

Some of our best memories are those spent with Rose, Ron and family at the cottage or at their home in Grand Ledge. We were graciously welcomed into their homes and were always treated like family. Not only did we have good times and lots of laughs with them, but we also had many serious conversations and received great advice. Rose will never be forgotten. She was a wonderful friend, mother, wife and grandmother. May she rest in peace and may those who love her find comfort in the memories shared with her.

I was on vacation last week and I am so sorry that I missed Rose's visitation. I wanted to express to all of you (especially you Ron, and Chris, her daughter) my condolences for the loss of your lovely wife and Mother. I worked with Rose in physical therapy, and I am shocked by her passing. She was full of life, really worked hard to take care of herself, and as others said, she provided great customer service for all of us in the billing department. I will really miss seeing her when I pay my bills! Your family has been in our prayers, and our hearts go out to you all. We miss you Rose! Sarah
