My condolences to the Henderson family on your loss. Rose was truly an amazing woman. For the last 10 or 12 years we traveled together to the Cobeskill poultry show. Our talks on the way to and from the show were not only about our show birds ,but our families and the world in general. It just won’t be the same going there without her. God bless you all and may she rest in peace.
Gary if you read this know she spoke of you often & my son Jason enjoyed many trips with the two of you. You were a blessing to her to.
I am so sorry I didn’t know Rose passed. We had many good visits over the phone ,I would have attended the service for her.Rose was a great lady and so caring for everyone. She will be missed by many,May she rest in peace.
Rose was a beautiful lady, I enjoyed our visits she was so full of knowledge. I loved to hear her stories when I did her hair. I regret not seeing her before her passing. I wish I had more words for her family than just an I’m sorry for your loss. Aunt Rose will be truly missed.
