Condolence: Dear Arbutus, John, Larry, and Violet, Your mother was very special to us because she was a friend of my mother. We enjoyed talking to her at the Eash Reunion. I got to know her better recently when I called to ask her what she remembered about my mother and her brothers and other Eash relatives. She was a remarkable lady with a great sense of humor. My sister Elmira and I visited her this Spring and enjoyed her story about her sawdust doll. Elmira identified with her about not getting many dolls, so she gave Rose a doll. You have out love and prayers in the loss of your mother. Cherish the happy memories that you have of time spent with her. We loved her too. We will remember the laughter and the great visits with her when she lovingly spoke of her family.

Condolence: Dear family, My deepest sympathy goes out to you at the loss of Rose's physical presence in your/our lives. My heartfelt joy is shared by you, I know, as we celebrate her: her long life, her gifts, her example, her own joy in living. The first two adjectives that came to me after reading Arbutus's email informing me of her mother's passing were: sweet and spunky. There is no contradiction there. She was a gentle being with an inner strength. May the loving thoughts and prayers of all of us who were blessed to know Rose and your memories of her sustain and nurture you through the days ahead.

Condolence: Dear Violet - I know how sad you must feel to loose your precious Mother. On the other hand you must feel so blessed to have had her for soooo long. Know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family as you go through the next couple of days - and on into the future. I know you will treasure times when you and your loved ones sit down and share stories about Rose and John. That is part of eternity!! My love to you. Owene

Condolence: We absolutely loved Rose. She was such a peach with her positive attitude and her humerous sayings. She will be greatly missed. She is a role model to us all on how to grow old gracefully. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family. Rose was a wonderful lady and surely you'll have all of your good memories of her to keep you.

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Rose, I remember as a little girl always going over and visiting with her. She was always so pleasant and loving she will be dearly missed by all.
