I have so many special memories of my dear Aunt Rose. She was such a kind, loving, humble spirit whose memory I will cherish always. God bless all my wonderful Masek cousins and families as you lay her to rest.
I was deeply saddened to learn of Rose passing. My sincere sympathy goes out to all the Masek families. I will always remember her kind words. She was truly a loving, hard working, & religious lady. This earth has lost a very special human being, but the heaven above has gained a pure angel. May she rest in peace. God Bless you all during this sorrowful time and always.
Sorry for loss. Love and prayers for her and your family as she passes through the gates of heaven.
Rita & Rich I’m very sorry for the loss of your Mother are thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family God Bless All Love Bob & Kelly McDonnell 😘
To Rose’s family, I cannot believe that Rose has been gone almost a year, and I am just learning of it today. Even though so much time has passed, I want you to know that I always thought your mother was a lovely lady when I saw her at the Villa in David City. I also enjoyed meeting her family members there–she seemed to have raised a very nice family!! Then there was the time that I saw pictures on Facebook of Rose baking kolaches with a daughter and granddaughter from a number of years ago–so cool! You all must have so many wonderful memories! May God bless Rose’s soul and may God bless all of you.
