Rose was a sweetheart. I have many fond memories of her when we were growing up and when she used to help my daddy in tobacco. We went to the same school and road the bus together…we lost touch over the years but I remembered her sweetness and her beautiful smiles. know I’m praying for the family and may God continue to Bless you all during this time. Please accept my deepest condolences and prayers. God Bless you All! Love Cindy Conner Stephenson!
