Memories of Rose....

"She would call and ask to go out, but then she would sit in the car with the kids, so I could shop by myself."
Lisa
"When I would visit MN in the summers as kid, I remember staying at her apartment, she would make us Kool-Aid - it was never very sweet and her homemade chicken and dumplings were the best."
Kristine
"I'll always remember G.Rose visiting us in Florida. Without fail she would cook us her favorites. Chicken and dumplings were a treat, fresh rye bread as well as her pancakes, probably thin and crispy Swedish style. So good"
