The best word I can use to describe Rosa is stalwart.
Rosa was a stalwart woman in her faith in Jesus Christ as her Savior. There was never a doubt whom she loved and depended on with each breath she took. Her discipline in praying and reading and studying Scripture was an example to us all.
Rosa was a stalwart woman in her hospitality. She was a delightful hostess, using her skills in the kitchen to treat and serve all who came into her house. Twice Steve traveled to Georgia on business and Rose spoiled hm with delightful food and fellowship with her and George. I remember her allowing me to help sometimes. She gave directions, so I knew exactly what she wanted. I was thankful that she allowed me to help and due to her directions, I was able to do it well. So many have been blessed by eating and fellowshipping in their home.
Rosa was a stalwart woman in “properness.” ( not a word, but “correctness” did not seem to be respectful enough) She knew her manners and everyone could sense that, so we had a respectful fear and strove to be on our guard to do and say only what was proper. We respected her and did not want to disappoint her.
Rosa was not a smiley woman, but through her eyes and words you knew she loved and cared about you.
We have been praying for your families and you grieve the loss of Rosa and rejoice in her being free from this world and worshiping God in heaven!
Love, Steve and Janet Jack
