On behalf of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ I extend to you Kent, Lisa and your entire family our sincerest condolences at the passing of your mother (in-law), Rose. Her life sounds like a life lived with joy and passion. May the memories in your hearts be filled with the consolation and peace of Christ. May God bring Rose home to his eternal joy!

Rosemarie was a “worker”. Her flower beds were always pristine. Her irises were “a beauty for the eye to behold” with so many varieties. They were all marked with little signs, so you could see their names. She kept her vegetable garden the same way.
A truly wonderful lady.
Our sincere sympathy,
Ren and Beverly Van Gilder
