She will be remembered for her appetite for food and life. A consummate lover of chocolate, she would eat anything chocolate and would follow it with an ice cold Coke. Rose was always on the go and never stayed in one place to long. She enjoyed staying on the move. She would always check to make sure her mom and dad were taken care of and doing ok. Rose liked helping her mom write in Syllabary. Her favorite song was her mom singing “What A Friend We Have In Jesus” in Cherokee. Rose loved to hear her mom sing to her in Cherokee.
