How saddened I was to learn of the grievous loss of your very dear mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother and other family members. It was always a joy to talk with this woman of faith, to speak with her often on the phone and to receive beautiful cards and gifts of jewelry in my favorite color of purple. It was also a joy to travel with Mom Rose to District and Conference Lay Meetings of the A.M.E. Church and laugh with her as we got lost on numerous occasions. She was a joy to be around and could be counted on in any situation that you were in, whether personal or spiritually related.
May the memories of this special lady soon give way to all the good memories you have stored up and may the goodness of Mom Rose lavish on her friends and loved ones and be multiplied in the lives of those that she has left behind. In the days ahead, may you find comfort in knowing that those we love remain with us -For love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade. Love ones can never be more that a thought apart, for as long as there is a memory, Mom Rose will live on in our hearts.
With Deepest Sympathy and Warmest Regards,
Carolyn A. Mann, Former Lay President, Grant A.M.E. Church
Collingswood, NJ
