Message: To the family of Rose,
Rose was a friend of my late mother's, Norma Jean Bonderud Wambold. I heard many a tale of their girlhood ordeals. My dad, Kenneth, use to say of Rose, "She is one of the grandest gals I've known." Mother savored many of her early memories of Rose yet some of the visits after dad and mom were married meant a lot to her too.
May Rose rest in peace and may her family fondly treasure their memories of her.
