Rose, you were the most giving and kind soul I have ever known. Serena and DJ are so lucky they had you as their Mimi. I’m so glad Serena was able to spend her childhood with and around you. You taught her so much about forgiveness, selflessness, love, family and kindness. You also helped me so much during a time when I really needed someone. I will forever be grateful for you, and I’m really going to miss you. I love you Rose. I’ll see you later xox
