Great-grandchildren all from Eastern Washington. Rose was going to be blessed with a great-great-grandchild in July, 2008. She is also survived by Mark Armstrong, of Bishop, a good friend who was like a grandson.
The family would especially like to thank Renee and Don Startup for helping with all the food that was prepared, while our loved one was sick. Our thanks goes out to Hoffman Hospice for helping with our loved one.
No services were made, just a family gathering to remember different occasions about mom and grandma, “the goose,” which Steve always called her. She has gone home to be free from all pain. God saw that she was getting tired and put his arms around her and lifted her up to heaven.
