My fondest  memories of Rose date back to 1978. She was one of the first people that I met at the Helotes Festival...then it was Helotes Spring Festival. My husband and I along with several others spent many evenings in the Belto home. This was to write and apply for a new  State Charter. Many long hours with food and drinks.  After the purchase of the property on Leslie Road,  Rose was always at the Saturday workdays.  Her main focus was to feed all the workers. She did this with her heart and soul.  I will never forget her grace and beauty.  God Bless each of you and know that Rose was loved and admired by many.  

I showed up to Christmas lunch at Cindy and Joel's sporting my new freshly trimmed beard. Rose took a look and without hesitation, " you know I never liked a man with a beard"... long pause, seemed like she was quite done with that observation, then..."I think I could like yours" with a little laugh. I shaved it off forthright.  Loved the way she loved her family and reached out to others... an example for us all. Thinking of her makes me miss you all, love from Al and my new bride Susan, who you will meet soon.  

Her mother (Louise Mary Kupca Fanick) and her grandmother (Annie Kupca – also my grandmother) were adding the final touches to Rose’s wedding dress. Curious as to the closed door I burst into the room and just as quickly was escorted out.

Rose and Donald – just speaking the words brings wonderful memories of two caring and gracious human beings. All those joyous Christmas parties and, yes, those homemade tamales.

This lady had the inner strength and faith to survive multiple major family and health crisis that would have defeated any of us “normal” folks.

Rest easy, cousin – peace at last.

Rose was a beautiful soul who gave of herself tirelessly as she beautified and enriched the lives of those around her. Her understanding of the  nature of growing things, most notably trees, gave her the means to do just that.  One of her trees occupies a very special place in my yard. It nourishes the needs of birds and butterflies and provides shade for visitors. It will serve as a lasting & growing legacy to this wonderful lady of Helotes for many years to come.  Rose,  may you rest in peace and may your family find solace in the numerous expressions of joy  you generously shared with your friends and family.  I feel confident that you are now with your loving husband and sweet Judy Swan.  You will be greatly missed.
