Lori, Danny and Vince there are no words that can express the way I feel for the loss of Babs.
When we were growing up, she seemed to have a very calming amazing era about her.
It seemed her personality, softened everyone around her. It was because of her elegant presence and her red hat.
My mom loved her so much!
Everyone who meant Rose loved her.
Dan and I want you to know that we’ll be praying for you all while you go through this grieving process she will be missed.
Love you all
Dan and Phyllis Stoll
