I was so saddened to hear about Rose’s passing. Rose was a very special woman. One of those people you feel lucky to have known. I worked with her at Inergi and she always was cheerful with a warm smile, a pleasure to know her. I wish all of her loving family and friends can feel the warm embrace from her friends to help in your loss and know she has left her positive spirit with us. Rest in peace Rose.

I am so sorry to hear of Rosette’s passing. She was one of the kindest people I have ever met, always a kind word of encouragement for everyone. I met Rose when we were going to College together at CONA in 2006 and she was like everyone’s best friend and mom all at the same time.
Jackie Power
Bye Rosie
You’ve left alot of good memories for your family and many friends but you had to leave too early. It is not fair but life sometimes is not fair either
You can start a big”kitchen party” in heaven & get the angels dancing
Frances
Sometimes I wonder if you know what a difference you made in my life Rosette.
You came along took my hand and showed me where to walk.
You brought light to my path and gave me confidence.
You help me to love, where no one has ever cared more than you Rosette.
I can wipe away the tears from my eyes but I cannot wipe away the pain in my heart.
We shall find Peace,
We shall hear Angels,
Wherever you go, go with all your heart,
We will miss you more with each passing day Rosette.
Love Forever and Always

So sorry to hear of Rosette’s passing. We were great friends at school in Stephenville. She taught me, among other things, to keep my hands extra warm in winter by carrying boiled eggs in my mittens. In the traditional way of the 60s we stabbed our hands with a baby pin and pledged to be blood sisters. She was loyal and fun and I loved her with my great big 9 year old heart. You are blessed to be set free if you were ill Rosette, but you will live on in the hearts and lives of all who loved you. I count myself as one who is better for having known you, and I still eat a lot of boiled eggs in the winter. My sincere sympathy to the family.

Sincere sympathies to all of the families involved:( It is never easy saying goodbye to a loved one, but may it bring you comfort knowing that she was loved by so many people throughout her lifetime. Rosette had not changed since high school. . .always happy and compassionate. I remember her “back in the day” and she was so full of life with such a beautiful smile that could light up a room!! Keep your memories close and may God give you strength during these difficult days ahead. RIP Rosette:)

Tara Dunn
The Dunn Family would like to send our condolences and love during this very difficult time. I had the privilege of meeting Rose. She was always so nice and friendly to us gals. Dianne – you are surrounded by your tribe…we are here when you need us, a shoulder to cry on, a laugh or a hug or to just simply sit with you in silence if you need that too. You are not alone in this and more importantly YOU are loved. Thinking of you and your sweet family at this time. Xoxo
Diane O'Quinn
My sincerest condolences to the family. I haven’t seen Rose in years and she was a beautiful lady. Thinking of you all at this time.
Wendy Twigge
Renee Dianne and family
You both already know how much I can sympathize with you in these difficult times. I loved seeing moms pictures of her beautiful family and knowing she loved my daughter and much as I loved hers.
Cynthia Millar
As you make new friends as you get older, it’s rare to meet the parents of those friends. Being such close friends with both Renee and Dianne, it has been such a joy getting to know Rose over the years and to see where the sisters get their sass and love of life from. Rose always brought an extra big smile to my face when she made an uplifting comment on our pictures on social media and when she cheered us on from the sidelines at our soccer games. You will be greatly missed xo
Nora and Mike Connolly
Our love, prayers and condolences are going out to all may you find comfort knowing she is not suffering no more.
Patricia (Ryan) Cole
My deepest condolences to you all. Many of my sweetest childhood memories include her. She will be deeply missed. I am so sorry for your loss.????
Annie Cooper
I worked with rose at Inergi. She was the kindest, funniest person. We chatted frequently on Facebook, sometimes at 3 am last summer when I was pregnant and uncomfortable. I loved our chats. She was such a strong, smart woman. She stopped me at loblaws around Christmas and got to meet my baby, who she told me she was in love with. I am so so glad they got to meet. Her middle name is Rose and I will always think of rosette for the rest of my life because of that. We had planned to see each other when the weather got warm, my heart is so broken that we won’t have that visit. She was truly amazing and I will miss her. My sincerest condolences to all who loved her.
Linda White
My prayers are with you, I knew Rosette growing up here in Sville she was a beautiful lady, she will be missed. Sorry for your loss.
Leah Power
My thoughts are with you as you go through this difficult time. I have lovely memories of cousin Rosette’s smiling face and her beautiful way of making a person feel so welcome. I remember her coming home to Stephenville many years ago and how excited I was to see her.
Thinking about you all and wishing you comfort.
Patrick Frendo-Cumbo
From the first time I met Rose we hit it off. She was such a kind and generous person. Every time we would meet at the beach she would always bring her bag of snacks and goodies for all to share. I enjoyed her many stories of back home. She always spoke with such pride whenever she talked about her family here in Ontario and back home in Newfoundland. We had a lot in common and I enjoyed the time that we spent together. Although our friendship only goes back a few years, I will always treasure the time we spent together. It was a privilege to call Rose my friend. I will miss her terribly. To Rose’s family and friends, I wish to extend my sincere condolences on your great loss. Sending you all peace and love at this very difficult time. May you rest in peace my dear friend Rose.

So sorry to hear of Rosette’s passing. I had no idea she was ill.
Andrea Murdock
As soon as I met Dianne’s mom I was blown away by her charisma and confidence. I have amazing stories and memories of our visits together at Dianne’s house and will cherish them always. Her fierce love of her children and grandchildren was incredible to see and how she would take the time to make everyone feel special. Rest in peace Rose knowing that you have raised amazing children and that your love will continue to be shown in their actions.
