Rose, affectionally known as Candy, was my youngest Sister. I had left home for college to study Architecture when she became a member of our family. I remember this quiet, sweet young girl joining us for Christmas, sitting by the Christmas tree and smiling at me shortly after Dad had relocated our family to Orrville, Ohio. Rose and I didn't have a lot of interaction because of our age difference, and, I was at university in a demanding program, followed by a job out of state and then the demands of my own family and professional work. When we did spend time together she was a light in the room. Always cheerful, funny and played with my young kiddos. I can't say I know much about her life other than I liked her husband Nolan and her three girls Amanda, Lisa and Sarah were adorable. Life takes its course and we all drift apart absorbed in our own experiences. Her passing has enveloped me in sadness, for leaving so young and the regret that I didn't know her better. She has left this life on the first day of Spring. I know every spring from this one forward as I watch the Redbuds and Mexican Plum trees explode in color, grass greens up and the first leaves of spring open to the warm sunshine I'll remember her laugh, see her smile and connect with her in the realm of the spirit. Love, Brother Gary
