I never met Ms. Rose Prochaska, but just knowing my friend Sheri Prochaska and her family, I know Ms Rose was a wonderful person. My condolences to you all. May you cherish every memory she left for you. These memories become a treasure.
I love to read 1Thessalonians 4:13-18. This brings comfort to family and friends.
Bless you all.

Rose was very special to us. Vernon and Rose were like a home away from home. They both were always special and she will be greatly missed. Our sympathy to all of the family. It is very hard to lose a mother, but she is with Vernon in our heavenly father's home.
