Rose – Virgine Lillian Stryczek

It would be wrong to say that Rose lost her battle because she never stopped fighting no matter how sick she was, she was always determined. When anyone else would have broken, Rose stayed strong. Through her, we know what resilience and perseverance truly look like. Just because she is no longer here, it doesn’t mean she lost her fight. Rose was an angel who loved and cared deeply for her family and friends. Those who touch our lives, stay in our hearts forever. Anyone who knew Rose, she would light up the room with her smile and illuminate the world with her heart.
