"Your Mom was at so many Midland events when I attended there. She always had a smile on her face. I am happy to have known her."

"To the family of Rosella, We didn't know her well but she and Clarence came to our place for apples several times and we so enjoyed the conversations with them. They would pick, can and share the apples of which we had plenty. Clarence's brother Harlan married us 67 years ago. Let you memories bring you smiles, your family and friends give you comfort and God grant you peace. She was a lovely quiet lady and will be missed by many.
With our love and sympathy, Janis and LeRoy Poppe"
