Deepest sympathy to the family members of Rose Jergens. She was a neighbor of mine when We lived on Kay Street
. We shared our mutual love of flowers.
Allen, Wendy, & Anastasia Benusa says
Rose was our neighbor on Kay Street. We always liked listening to her life stories as she talked with such enthusiasm. The children in the neighborhood loved going over to her house around Christmas time to decorate cookies. The Irises on the side of our house came from her flower garden. What a lovely lady she was, and always will be in our hearts.

My dear friend Diane, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers as you say your final goodbye to your Mom. Rose was a very special lady who touched many lives with her joy and her many talents.
When you talked about how your Mom loved shopping, it made me giggle to hear that it wasn’t that long ago that you had taken her shopping at that age!
Love, Judi
