    To Anne and all the Kotyk family out many heartfelt prayers go out to you. We are saddened by your loss of Rose and so sorry we were unable to be there to give you our comforting words and hugs. Rose was so special to us, always had a smile and a hello and time to chat. As a long time friend and school pal of John's, Rose was introduced to me and over the years became another part of our lives at so many functions in Rycroft, like the school reunions and homecomings. We enjoyed her wit and and will miss her so much . Rest in peace Rose and remembering you always.
