I will greatly miss Rose. Our families were once very close...Charles and I are only about a year apart in age, and when our families lived in the same building @ 469 Washington Ave., in Clinton Hills Brooklyn, my mother and Rose were dear friends. We spent many good times together as families and Rose was like an Aunt to me. Beach, picnic, family, parties for all of the young children's birthdays (me, Charles, others in the building, and cousins) were the norm. I spent many days at Rose's home on E 6th when our families moved from Brooklyn, and she took care of Charles and me, as young teenagers, with sincere care and love. I introduced my own teenage daughter to Rose about three/four years ago as she was waning in health and she accepted her with love, just as she did for so many of us. My last visit was to bring some incredible Jamaican Fish Tacos to her for a snack, from the pattie shop on First Ave and 4th st. Peace Be Upon You Rose...your spirit will linger with us like the fragrance of freshly culled flowers. God Bless you.
