Rose was a wonderful person who was always impeccably dressed. Her casual wear was a dress, stockings, pumps and of course always the jewelry. Whenever I would see her walking to or from the store or waiting for the bus at Shoprite, I would give her a lift. When she began volunteering on Tuesday at Glenwood Avenue School to deliver breakfast to the students in the classroom, we made it a ritual for me to pick her up and take her home. When she worked the St. Ann Car Raffle, she would walk down my street and always stop to say "Hi." Whenever my mother was in town, I would take Rose with us to dinner or to the Strawberry Festival at the Methodist Church in Wildwood Crest. I was honored to befriend Rose even though she was 33 years my senior. I enjoyed her company on so many occasions and I loved listening to her stories about her life and her family. She definitely has left a void in this world.
