"Thank-you" Aunt Rose for giving Bobby mom's letter". I enjoyed visiting with you at the V.F.W. It wasn't your fault Grandma fell... she didn't blame you. She adored you Rose and I know you loved her very much too. The Carthage hospital was neglegent which I'm sure they knew. You stayed with Grandma all night and told the nurse's on duty she's been known to try to get out of bed. There was nothing else you could have done, but sue! It still hurts to think about what all poor Grandma went through. You had to go home and get ready for work... so what else could you do? I'll never forget the last time Shirley & I came to see you. Your kid's miss you so much coz you were all they had their whole lives through. Your all they had Rose, you were the glue. How's Grandma, Norma, mom & dad? The way those new owner's treated you at the V.F.W. made me & Shirley mad. You were the best waitress and bar tender they ever had! I was sorry to hear your little dog died too. How sad. I'll bet Jeff was thrilled to see you when you got to heaven. Your so lucky to be able to visit all of our loved one's 24-7! Jake said to tell you he & Ruth says Hello! He says he understands why you had to go. He miss's you, Norma, dad, Grandma & Grandpa though. Aunt Helen says you waited to see her before you died. I can only imagine the tears Aunt Helen & Uncle Jake have cried. You sure had alot of bad luck after Grandma died. Aunt Helen said you looked up at her over the top of your glass's and you were gone at the blink of an eye. You were gone in an instant, only god knows why. It's so sad when we lose a loved one and don't even get to say "Good-Bye". That happened to us with "Aunt Norma", "Aunt Marian & Sadie", mom and dad. Sometimes I still cry. I sure hope that ulcer on your leg is doing alot better. "Thank-you" Aunt Rose for giving Bobby mom's letter. Love, Margie & Bobby xoxo Poem by: Marge Hillgartner Rose Hopson's niece
