Rose was a LONG-TIME  member of the Lorance Sunday school class that I've been teaching  for about 18 years, but she was there for 23 years!  And I was privileged to officiate at her memorial service.

One of the remarkable memories of her in the minds of myself, my wife, Carol, and many others was how she arrived in class during the last years she was able to attend with the help of her daughter and son-in law.  She needed her walker, of course, but had it draped with a string of tiny Christmas bells.  Even though she came into the room from the back, all knew when she was arriving as we heard the tinkling of those little Christmas bells.  That was every time she came, not just in the Christmas season.  To me, at least, it was a reminder that every day is really Christmas.  Christmas marks the ultimate entry of the love of God in Christ into our human world.  That is a reminder of what God is doing every day, reaching out to us in divine love.  Dear Rose, THANKS FOR THE MEMORY! -- David and Carol Butler

My mother, Evelyn Parker Clark and Rose were good friends in high school.  Later on, my parents kept up with Rose and Charles, and over the years our  families visited many times.  My sister Diane and I got to know Rosalie, Bob, and Bill and had wonderful times when our families got together.  When Rose and Charles and my parents both ended up living in Nashville during their retirement years, they would often spend time together.  I am grateful for the special times I had with the Murray family over the years and Rose will be missed.
