To the Quiett, Wisham, and Thompson Family. Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you in your hour of sorrow. Momma Rose was a jewel and we all loved her. She was fun to be around and a joy to have known her. She looked after our mom when she was in ill health and that always stuck with me and my siblings. She was a mom to all of us on the Hamilton side. She will be missed. But we will see here again in our heavenly home. God bless the family. RIP Momma Rose!
