This is about my friend Rose. She died of Breast cancer the 8th of August. She had won the battle of breast cancer and then it spread to other places in her body but she was a true hero! She fought so hard! I really got to know her about 4 years ago. She and my friend Vickie and I took a road trip to St Louis, Mo for a CKC convention. It was a first for all of us. We had so much fun! When we arrived home, her daughter was waiting for us; she would not let us begin to unload because she had to take pictures of our car. It was loaded to the top of the car and just enough room for one of us to sit in the back. We had bought so much stuff it was unbelievable. Rose continued to scrapbook with us until about 9 months ago. Her daughter was such an inspiration to us and to her mother. Dana has started a foundation in honor of her mother. It is called “Fight like Rose” because Rose truly fought a good fight! Dana started this foundation because as her mother would go to chemo, the oncology ward at our hospital had recliners in which the foot rest would not stay up, Dana would sit there with her knees under so her mother could relax as much as she could. The money she (Her organization) earns will go towards new recliners. Each recliner cost $900 plus, she would like to replace all of them. Her goal is to do our hospital, then find another, then another, the another.
At the funeral home Dana had every scrapbook Rose had done of their families. She framed some pages, it was so beautiful. I knew when I look at Rose, which she was in heaven rejoicing that she had no more pain, she was so beautiful and looked so peaceful!
Rose my friend I will see you in Heaven one of these days! I miss you but know you are so much better off!
