My dear Aunt Roseann may you Rest In Peace. My heart goes out to my Uncle Paul, Tim and family during this time of great loss. Aunt Roseann will always be with us as we venture through this life. Until we meet again. Sincerely, Your loving Niece
Tim Stuit
My mom was always there for me to lend a helping hand or a word of encouragement. And she did the same for anybody she knew. She gave of herself without ever asking for or expecting anything in return. I learned how to be a better person from the example she set. She loved to cook, and whenever I would visit, I would complain that she never just sat down to relax and spend some time just visiting with me. So I ended up standing in the kitchen with her and helping her prepare the food in whatever way I could. I learned a lot about cooking that way, but also it turned out that those were the movements that we usually had the freest exchange of personal experiences, and I will forever cherish those times. I’ll miss you, mom, and as you always said to me, Godspeed.
