    I know you all know how fortunate you were to have Rose for a mother and grandmother. She had such a big heart and was such a hard worker. My husband Ed worked with Rose for many years at Horne & Pitfield Foods. They had the best Social Club ever: retirement parties, Christmas parties, bar-b-ques, bowling. curling, and golfing. I have many fond memories of events we attended with this fine lady and her hubby Bill. Those were the good old days! Sending sincere sympathy Sharon Higginson
