Eternal rest to Rose and peace to her family and all who loved her. I'm wondering how the community of Ault has gotten along without her involvement--a real leader. Susie's girls were always so good and kind to the three of us. When we were young and our parents had little, Rita, Rose and Roberta were enough older and had jobs and would always send us Christmas presents. I think our mother was their favorite aunt; they called her Aunt Peg which I did not understand at all as that was my name! Our mother was Veronica. She dropped the Margaret (Peg) when she moved to the eastern part of the state and was Veronica the rest of her life except to the West-river Mulloys. I kept in touch with Rose until she didn't know who I was when I called. We had visited her several times on the farm, including when Steward was still living. Now, my sister Mary (88) and I (86) are the only grandchildren of John and Cassie Mulloy left. By the way, I contacted Fr. Mike and cousin Jean Lewis (Joel's daughter) about Rose's passing. Joe Lamers sent me a text to let me know. Love your cousin. Peg O'Dea Lippert

Condolences to the family of Rose. I think the last time I saw Rose was in 1968 when I lived in Fort Collins. We visited back and forth several times. Rose was more a part of my life when I was a child and up to my high school years. Many nice memories of her. Cousin, Mary O'Dea Runyon
