Rose reminded me of my own mother with her advice and many conversations while working at SWB/AT&T. I remember Rose bringing us goodies from the St. Joseph Alter too! Rose was such a fun, sweet lady and she will be missed. Prayers of peace and comfort for her family . Thinking especially of her daughter Linda.

Rose and I have many memories from working together and going camping when my kids were young. Going to that casino with her friends were always so much fun for her. Even when I moved away she never forgot me when it was time for the St.Joseph's Altar. She knew I loved the spaghetti. All the hours her and friends and family put in to have that Altar. It was beautiful. Rose was very proud of her children and grands. I always told her I wish I had her energy! love you Rose and may you Rest in Peace. Hollis was waiting for you.. Love, Pat Frazier

Rose was such a sweet friend and co worker. She was very dedicated to her family and her extended Bell family. I loved her laugh and those precious dimples. She was a joy and I will miss her so much. My deepest sympathies to all who loved Rose and continued prayers for comfort & peace.

Prayers for Rose's family. She was a sweet and kind lady beautiful inside and out. I will miss seeing her at mass and our talks at HEB and the dollar store and most of all the fun on the trips to the casino. RIP, Rose PreJean

Rose was a sweet, genuine lady. I loved her so much, as did so many others that worked with her at Southwestern Bell. She taught me a lot at work. RIP, dear sweet Rose.
