And then her carrot cake was the best cake ever i could never get enough of it. I will miss her so very much she was loved by my family and will never be forgotten.

October 13, 2017 at 1:46 pmOur most heartfelt condolences. This loss is so very painful to all who knew Rose, but especially for her children and grandchildren. We were fortunate to meet Rose and spend time with her through our friendship with Tom and Michelle and their children. She and Bob often welcomed our family into their home as though we were part of the Corey clan. Affectionate and generous, you always felt love in her presence. Rose was part of that remarkable first generation of Lebanese-Americans who preserved and passed along the best qualities of our culture. She will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
