Her smile, hugs, and kisses would make a day even better. No one could out give her. Although she had little of value, she was satisfied to live that simple life, and always helped and made others happy. She loved her family and the Lord, and served both well, now received and is resided with Jesus and family in heaven. Rose was well cared for, and loved by the medical community in Libby and Kalispell. She considered Libby Care Center her home and her extended family. She will be missed by family and they look forward to being reunited with her, fully restored in health, smiling, arms stretched out, ready with that kiss and hug.
