I am truly saddened to have heard of your loss Mr. Jack. So much of my life was colored by Rosalie’s love for you and the boys. Through John and Jim, she was a mother to so many of their friends. I was privileged to grow up among that group. May you all feel the presence of the Holy Spirit as you work through the loss of such a neat lady. She’s a Mom we all will miss…Jeff

Deepest condolences to you Jack and your family. My brother Bob has stated it so well, and I echo all that he has said. I have many fond memories of the dances in Grand Marsh with Rosie’s musical ability and talent. It’s hard to lose a loved one, but to know how much they have impacted others gives warmth and comfort.
Jack and family, while our paths have not crossed on a regular basis, rest assured that Rosie’s impact on my younger life has never been forgotten. Her musical ability, her yodeling, and her participation in the Sunset Ramblers will always have a special place in my memories. And when her love tied her to the Werner family, it couldn’t help but tie into more cherished memories. So to you, Jack, and your family, as well as Ron and his family, Rosie may have passed, but her memory will live on in our hearts. Deepest sympathy, Bob G.
