Rose Prokopiw was a wonderful lady. She loved her family and her friends. She was very helpful to me in a time of great stress. I will never forget her.

I too felt blessed feeling loved by Rose. We go back 50 years to Montreal. She always welcomed me with her smile, cookies, watching her create her stunning Easter eggs and having a multitude of chats about her family and how much she loved and was so proud of you all. In more recent years, she spent our times together chatting about her family and she shared many amazing memories with us. She was always interested in everything and everyone. Rose was a classy lady, warm, loving & generous of spirit. Every day, " no matter how she felt, she would always get up, dress up and show up" and she always took the time to look at and be at her very best. She had missed the love of her life for a very long time now and though she left all those she loved so much, it was finally time for her to join her beloved Peter. Stay strong together treasuring all the wonderful memories and may they live forever vibrant in your hearts. Rose was most significant to me and my heart aches with you all. Our sincerest condolences.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. She was a lovely, caring person. Our joke whenever we met or I phoned was it is the other Elaine here. She had a long and wonderful life to be celebrated. Sincerely, Elaine
