Dear Family, We had the short time of knowing your mother .Sweet Rose. who was our Mother Delores Surato’s roomate at Arden House. Your mother was so dear and very sweet and gentle with our mom as well as the other residents she so tenderly wheeled in their wheelchairs.She would offer a gentle kiss and a touch on Mom’s cheek. I last saw Rose in her bed sleeping peacefully and I placed her baby doll in her hands to hold. Sadly, to learn days later she had passed. She is now at Peace and we were glad to have met her and had peace in knowing she and our Mom had a special bond. May you always keep the sweet fond memories close to you. Sincerely, Darlene & Eddie Surato
