My dear Aunt Rosie was always there for me in many times of trouble. Her words of wisdom meant the world to me and helped me immensely. In our last conversation within the last week of her life we shared many wonderful memories. I will miss her immensely.
Rinke Family – My sincerest sympathy on the loss of your Rosie. She was a kind and generous lady. There’s another angel around His throne tonight.
Dear Rinke Family,
Rosie was a faithful woman to God and family.
There are no words to relieve your pain.
It takes time and many tears will be shed.
May you feel the loving arms of the Lord around you all
and in His way to console you all.
In HIS love,
PEACE

It was always a pleasure to be able to see and visit with Aunt Rosie and her family. She always had a smile and positive and helpful comments for me and my family. We will miss her and are sending our prayers to Uncle Joe and family.
Our Nextdoor neighbor for many years,
my lasting memory of Rose when when she learned of my ovarian cancer. The tight hug she gave me was warm and loving. 12 years later, her impact remains. She will be missed.

Rose was a dear friend .We clicked the minute that we met each other. We had so many similarities with people we knew and places we’ve been. I always looked forward to being with Joe and Rose on the days I was at their home. Rose was one of the sweetest people I knew.
I am blessed to have known her.
My prayers to Joe and the family.
