    Rose was such a blessing to us. She cared for our daughter so I could go to work. We never worried about our daughter while Rose was caring for her because Rose treated her like family. The world is missing one its earthly angels.

    Memories of Aunt Rosie along with your dad, are coming back. We often had fun with your family because of your mom and the love she showed all of her nieces and nephews. I remember going to many a drive in movies with your family. It was a fun time and it was a time that mom and dad had to themselves. And I know mom and dad reciprocated for alone time for your parents. It was always fun when we came in to visit when we moved to different towns and cities. Mom made it a priority to visits your parents every time we came in.

    We were blessed on an ordinary January day 42 years ago. Rose came into the lives of our little family of 3 and swept us into her family. Not only did she love Kate as her own, she taught a new Mom and Dad how to parent our little "Baby Doll". She didn't limit her care to just the 3 of us; I can remember well her creating a breakfast feastafter mass, for 2 visiting Meiman brothers with hearty appetites! We grieve with all those who loved and were loved by Rosie. Our gratitude for having her friendship and love knows no bounds and Kate & Aimee were especially blessed to have her loving guidance in their earliest years. Rest in peace, Rosie...your love has left a lasting mark on 3 generations of children and many lucky adults.❤️

    I went to school with Eileen Germuska and Shirley Kopycinski. Seeing this obit brought back memories of so long ago. Much sympathy to the family.

    Ken Danchik and I are thinking of Rose and Walt, your family, and Saint Albert—especially the music ministry. We are sad for your loss, and hope for your consolation and peace. Remembering you fondly.
