Dear Rosie,

Not one day goes by that I don't think of the many beautiful words that you shared with me about your relationship with Jesus. Today I hold on to those words like never before as I ask God for guidance and wisdom during these trying times. It's difficult to believe that it has been 10 years since the Lord called you home. Until we see each other again, my sister. With love. Myrian

Dear Rose,

     It doesn't seem like 10 years since your smile was running up and down our office hall. It's pretty rotten down here right now. At least you are safe and at peace up there.

Dear Rose,

    You remain a beautiful thought to all those who worked with you. At the moment we are all at home on lock down and are in dire need of beautiful thoughts.

Dear Rose,

Another year has passed without your beautiful smile in our office. You are truly missed.

I miss you momma. I posted some photographs of your grandaughter. She has your smile. I hope to be worthy of going to heaven and seeing you again. I love you.

Rosie, siempre te recordamos!

I added a photo of Rosie and my mom enjoying a time together eating ice cream in Bogota. I was not too often that we were able to spend time alone with my mom since there were six children, so I know how happy Rosie must of been! They were two amazing women who loved the Lord and their children with all their hearts. I miss and love them both.

Dear Rosie, we gathered in Bogota with dad and Marina to celebrate both your birthdays! There are great memories here of your trips to Villa de Leyva, Cartagena and Bogota! We all love and miss you. Life is not the same without you my beautiful sister.

Mom, I wish you were alive to meet your grandaughter. Her middle name is in memory of you, Sophia Rose. She also coincidentally has roses on her clothes today. She is now over 6-weeks old.

Dear Rosie,
You are always in my heart and thoughts. I miss your radiant smile and captivating laughter! When I look at your beautiful granddaughter, Sophia Rose, I'm amazed at how much she looks like you! We know you are looking down from heaven and sending blessings to all of us. Love and miss you my dear sister.
Myrian

Dear Rose
I am sure you are having a marvelous time at the fathers house
you put a smile in my face remembering our time together . You are missed here !
Adriana

Dear Rose,
    As long as this company exists, we will never skip this opportunity to remember how great you were down here and how great you remain up there.

Our dear sister, yesterday we came together to remember your birthday to lay roses and play your favorite Christian song, "Tu estas aqui" in your favorite place at South Point. We felt your presence as we looked out to the water, feeling the breeze and sun. All this brought us so many memories of the things you enjoyed. It was a day filled with so many emotions! We miss you and are always in our hearts.

Your sisters,
Myrian and Marina

Dear Rose,

     To think you would only be a young 58 today... It is Good Friday but every day is a day to remember one of God's best. All your friends at the office never forget .......

Hola my beautiful Rosita.. I'm wishing you a fabulous birthday in heaven. This means another year that we have missed your birthday here on earth with us. I truly miss you so much and I think about you all the time.. I especially miss your kind words, your motherly advices that I always took to heart. I will always and forever remember everything you taught me, and all that love, trust, patience that you instilled in me. I know that You and your Mom are all flying in heaven together and rejoicing our heavenly father. I love you mucho and I miss you mucho mas... I know that one day I will see you again..

Dear Rose,

     Another year has passed and those of us who worked with you daily still talk about how much we miss you. You left all of us way too soon but then again, you are still here.

Remembering my dear mother on this 7th anniversary of her passing away. I miss you very much and wish we could have shared many more memories together. I cherish what you have sacrificed and instilled in Michelle and I as a mother. You were very dedicated in everything you were a part of, including family, friends, work, church, community, etc. You were definetly a great example as being a good person, despite the many conflicts you confronted and I admire you for that. I reflect back on the many good things you did for us as a family and I wonder how you were able to accomplish them, when you were struggling as a single-mother to provide for us. I value your courage, independance, will, joy, and wisdom you showed us despite what life's problems where in your path. I remember your joyous heart every time I see a butterfly, as they greeted you when you left home. I can only imagine the eternal peace and joy you are experiencing in heaven with my aunt Janet and grandma, for your faith in Jesus Christ. I hope to hold on and maintain my faith until the day comes for me to pass away as well, then meet you all in heaven. I love you and thank you. Thank you Jehova, Lord almighty, that my three family members are blessed with being in heaven and not the other place, after they passed away. We most all overcome our daily struggles and aim to maintain faith in the Lord, so that when that day comes rushing to us, we also can arrive in heaven. Blessings.

Dear Rosie, you have left such a big void in my life and that of our family. I know you are smiling down as you read the beautiful tribute your son wrote to you. Until we see each other again my sister.

Love you with all my heart.

Your sis,
Myrian

Rosita, recordar tu sonrisa es, como encender una luz que ilumina la oscuridad.
Gina

From Joaquin:

Those old photographs of tender moments stir the heart with fresh mournings and love's pain starts to hurt once again so deep. One acquainted with our sorrows who loved and died now lives and has the balm that soothes the soul and turns our mournings into joy and ashes into beauty.

Esas viejas fotografías de tiernos momentos emocionan el corazón con frescos duelos y el dolor de amor comienza a arder de nuevo tan profundo. Aquel que conoce nuestros dolores que amó y murió y ahora vive tiene el bálsamo que calma el alma y convierte nuestros lamentos en alegría y nuestras cenizas en belleza.

Remembering my beautiful and sweet sister Rosie on her 57th birthday that she shared with our dad. His heart is heavy today as he remembers the gift the Lord gave him on March 30, 1960! We miss Rosie's radiant smile and tender heart. We know Rosie is celebrating and rejoicing with our Lord Jesus, our dear mom and loving sister Janet.

Dear Rose,

   It has now been 6 years since your infectious smile spread through our office. You are so missed in so many ways.

For He made Him who knew no sin sin so that the righteousness of God may dwelling in us through Him. Joaquin

This is a tribute to my beautiful sister Rose, who is truly missed and her memory lives in us so brightly. She was an amazing mother, sister, friend and coworker. She always gave her best and wanted the same in return. Her love for the Lord was unquestionable and passionate. She wanted all of us to experience the joy that came with having that special relationship with Him because she knew til the end that it gave her the strength. I love you Rosie, my life has not been the same without you in it. I know you are rejoicing in the presence of the Lord!!! Your sister, Myrian

Querida Rose, cuantos recuerdos y cuanto amor dejaste hoy y siempre te recordamos

Dear Rosie, we are all remembering you on your 56th birthday along with our dear dad in Cartagena, a place where you left beautiful memories. We miss you everyday of our lives and know that we have three angels in heaven watching over us.

Today is your bday Mimi's, how much I wish I could call and tell you how special you are how much I miss you, what life has become in the last years without you, I know you're looking down now, and I hope you can see how much you're truly missed Mimi's, everything reminds me of you! Everything from someone mentioning the name Rosie, to the way a Christian church praises, to the almond joys at the end of a supermarket line. The chocolate factory or IHOP. Love you mimis. Always in my thoughts forever in my heart

Rosie: !estas siempre en mi corazon! Gina

My dear Rosie,

I love you and miss you so very much. I often yearn for one of your warm hugs. Although I cannot see you anymore, I see your beauty shine through your amazing children and the people they have grown to be. Give grandma and Janet a big kiss for me! One day we will all be together again.

With all my love,
Christina

Dear Rose,

    It's been 5 long years since your smile and determination graced our office. In our memories you will always be there.

There will be a special mass today in remembrance of our beautiful sister Rose in Bogota, Colombia at 5 pm given by our dear father, Jorge. We will all be united in prayer even from far, as we remember and thank God for given us the honor of having Rosie in our lives. She is in heaven with our dear mother and now our sister Janet. Three true angels are watching over all of us who love them. I miss you Rosie!!! Your sister, Myrian and family.

Querida Rose, hoy en tu aniversario tu corazón se recocija estas en compañia de tu amada madre y de tu hermana Janet, Dios las tiene en el cielo por ser tres mujeres buenas, virtuosas y bendecidas. Un año más para honrar tu memoria

Dear Rose,

     Your co-workers miss being with you to this very day. You were one of a kind and are forever missed.

I know that you are looking down at us from heaven and interceding on our behalf as we face the challenges of this world. I miss your radiant smile and laughter, sweet Rosie! Thanks for sharing your love for Jesus and for always drawing us near to Him through the passages that you read, books and cds that you mailed to us, but most of all by your testimony. Til the day we meet again. Your sister, Myrian

Rose another year has passed and just last week Harriet and I were talking about how much we miss you around our office. It still feels like something is missing.

Querida Rose,
Aunque el tiempo halla pasado siempre te vamos a recordar con mucho amor . Siempre fueron lindos nuestros encuentros desde el primero ... Si no estoy mal fue en nuestra boda !! Tu lindo espíritu hizo que nuestra amistad perdurara ... Siempre fue alegré estar contigo y con tu linda familia ...te adelantaste y ahora disfrutas de la compañía de nuestro padre celestial ... Disfruta! Te lo mereces!! Adriana + Roberto Gómez

I am home in Heaven, dear one,

 Oh, so happy and so bright,

There is perfect joy and beauty

 In this everlasting light.

All the pain and sorrow over,

 Every sadness tossing passed,

I am now at peace forever,

 Safely home in Heaven at last.


Did you wonder why I so calmly

 Trod the valley of the shade?

Oh but Jesus' love illuminated

 Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me,

 In that way so hard to tread,

And with Jesus' arm to lean on,

How could I have one doubt or dread?



Then you must not grieve so sorely

 For I love you so much still,

Try to look beyond earth's shadows,

 Pray and trust our Father's will,

There is work still waiting for you,

 So you must not idly stand.

Do it now while life remaineth,

 You shall rest in our Lord's land.



When your work is finally completed,

 Jesus will gently call you home;

The rapture of that meeting,

 Oh, the joy to see you come!!!!

Hi Aunt Rosie,

This is especially hard for me because it's hard to accept you aren't here with us in person, even though I remember your spirit every place I go. The rides in the car, the radio stations, the morning commute, church, every time I pass by the salon you would get your nails fixed on fridays, and how Michelle and I would wait for you. The way you would even get upset at us if we didn't help or do something you asked, I miss so much about you Mimi's that its hard to accept you aren't here, even a simple almond joy at the checkout counter brings you back to me all the time. We shared so much together, so many laughters so many meals, so many memories, so many times you would make sure I was ok. No words can ever express what you mean to me today and always forever until the day we reunite again. You were a second mom to me and will always be, I miss the infinity and the way you were so meticulous about everything being clean, the way you showed us to always reach out. Even the way you laughed at my sarcastic jokes, I only wish you were here to see the person I have grown to be and that you would be proud like you always were of Michelle and I, and that you would be happy to always show us your strength as an example of a great women, I miss how you would encourage us to make fun of BG, and laugh when the egg sandwich was gone because oreo ate it. I know these are all things we shared for so long. I remember you on a daily Mimi's and I love you forever. I hold strong to God because of what you always taught us. I know I need to learn to accept you aren't here but for now I'll hold on to the memories and to feel that I'll be seeing you soon.

Forever

Nathy

It was 4 years today that a beautiful person went home to the Lord. I miss her very much and there would always be that feel of emptiness every time she comes in my mind. I can't wait to see her and share an eternity with Rosie in our Father's mansion.

Dear Rosie,

In my visit to Miami this past June, I had the pleasure of making a special wreath of red roses and sending it out to sea where your ashes were scattered with Ivan, Janet and Marina. We prayed, sang to the Lord and remembered you as we do daily. You are loved and missed so much, but I know that you are in the most glorious place, in the presence of the Lord! Your sister, Myrian

Rosie, we had the pleasure of having your beautiful daughter, Michelle visit us this week and it was a true joy to see so much of you in her. Her beautiful smile, sense of humor and warm heart. We cried together as we remembered and celebrated your life. I know you are smiling from heaven and are always watching over her. We remembered you on your birthday as we got together to celebrate dad's birthday together. I love you and miss you so much. Your sister, Myrian

Dear Rose,

    It has been almost 4 years since you left us and quite frankly there has been a big empty spot in our office for all that time. There will never be another Rose. You are sorely missed.

I love you dearly mom. You will never be forgotten. Thank you for inheriting in me your characteristics and morals. I am a better man because of your teachings and guidance as a great mother. Time seems to go by quickly here on earth and its been 3-years since you've departed to heaven. I'm sure it only feels like moments for you. One day I'll meet you in heaven. Love you mom. Ivan

Dear Rose,

     Your name still comes up in our office on a regular basis. Co-workers, customers, and people throughout our industry never fail to remember our Rose. You are truly missed.

Dear Rose, What a beautiful memories ...your smile and your sweet friendship are unforgettable...i am sure you are in heaven with our Father and that give me hope that one day i am going to be there too.
Rest in peace.....Adriana

Missing Rosie and remembering her beautiful smile, the way she used to call us, "honeyta" and her love for the Lord and life itself. Just to think that we will be rejoicing together with Rosie and my mom in the presence of God gives me strength and peace to carry on.

My darling sister Rose, I miss everything about you, especially our weekly prayer calls with Janet and Marina. I know that you are watching over us from heaven where you are rejoicing together with Mom. I can just see you now, running through the heavenly meadows and looking beautifully fashionable with all the other angels. I love you and miss you. Your sis, Myrian

A privilege and a gift to have known you. All my love and prayers to you on the anniversary of your arrival to this earth where you touched and beautified all the lives you touched. You and your family in my heart and in my prayers.
love,
angela

Dear Rosie, it is very emotional for me to come to this memorial, even though I know that you are in the presence of the Lord, I miss you here with us as we celebrate each holiday and specially your birthday.
As I continue my journey here on this earth until the Lord calls me, I think of your life to encourage me, to gain strength and courage as I face my own challenges. Give Mom a big hug
