I am so sorry for your loss. I don't have words to express the sorrow I feel for you all. To lose a parent is horrible. I can tell you that there is a Kingdom where she now is that is much more wonderful than we can even imagine. She is there with Adam and all others that have gone before. She is smiling as she looks down on you and feels so much better now. I didn't know her very well but I knew her children and you are expressions of her spirit and teachings. She was a wonderful woman from what I know and always had a smile and kind word the few times I met her. I am sending much love and hugs to you all. I could not make the funeral due to another that I was attending. So sorry. I couldn't be in two places at the same time. You will see her again one day. Love you. <3

Though we didn't have the blessing of knowing Grandma Rose, it is clear that she was a shining light in the eyes of her family and friends.  And knowing Pam gives us a great idea of what a wonderful woman she was.  May God bless your entire family as I'm certain he is blessing Grandma Rose right now.  Love, Dawn & Ron

I find it hard to believe that our Lady Mayor of Unadilla has passed. She was a friend , second Mom, Grandmother to so many.  She had the best sense of humor and always had a joke or smart remark for you.  She will be missed by many and especially to my family she was such a fixture in our life for so long.  I also want to say to her Daughter Amy how wonderful you were to take such wonderful care of her for so long.  You were an outstanding person and she loved you so much.  She always told me she didn't know what she would of done without you.  I always agreed.  As I said before she will be missed . Much love to you and your family  Bernice and Rose Staff

Dear Family,  
Many of you through the years have been our extended family in one way or another.  From Henderson Scout Camp, Unatego school, and Penn State Tech, to our kids paddling their hearts out on the Unadilla and Susquehanna rivers.  

We both are sorry for your loss of Mom/Grandma .  We keep your family in our prayers.
You all have given her much to be proud of.  I am sure she is smiling at the generations you all gave to her.

Love,
Gary & Beverly

The last in our family tree from the greatest era in America. While death is a time of sadness in your case it brings happiness knowing that my Uncle Paul is dancing with his lovely bride once again.

I can only say that I will always remember "Momma Rose" for her warm, welcoming smile and that light in her eyes when she met you.  Did not matter where you were or what you were doing.  I think she was one of the most honestly friendly people I was ever honored to know and I always left her company feeling good about myself and the world.  She will be missed.
