Have missed Rose in the neighborhood. She was a spunky lady and was always very proud of her family, and her original dark hair (no color added for her 😉 ). She loved her children and grandchildren and often told me all about their successes in life. Rose, may you be rejoicing with Bill in the Heavenly streets of gold.
I remember all the fun and tasty cakes she bake our family over the years…she was my mom’s good friend and will be missed by many………..sorry for your lost. Bill Kent
Dear Hawkins family: We were not able to attend the calling/funeral for your mother but you are in our prayers. She was a great neighbor and made the most wonderful cakes. I always enjoyed talking to her when I was out for an evening walk or picking up a cake. She will certainly be missed. Our neighborhood will not be the same without her.
