My heart-felt sympathy to all you dear children. Roses left a great legacy in all of you. She and Robert were sweet and caring neighbors and friends. I know you already miss her. I am sorry for your loss, but we have a blessed hope of seeing her again. I wanted to see you today, but the weather was just too rough for me to drive. Love to you all, Jackie Grantham

Dear Susan, Doug & Family, So very sorry to hear about your Mom, I know she kept telling me she was on borrowed time, ever since you got sick, but was happy to still have more time with everyone. She was a very special person to me, and I enjoyed being with her, and helping her do the things she couldn't do. I had to get used to not going to her house four days a week, and that was very hard for me for quite a while. I still pass the house almost everyday, and always think of your Mom and our memories. I will miss her very much and our long phone conversations. She was a wonderful person to me, and I will always cherish that!!! My prayers are with you and all the Family. Sincerely, Terri Thomas

Ms. Stephens was my biology teacher at Carroll High. She was a funny, intelligent and inspiring woman. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. Roses will be remembered.

Story shared: Roses Stephens: A Wonderful Neighbor

The angels are rejoicing at the homecoming of my wonderful neighbor of almost 25 years, Mrs. Roses Stephens. She was absolutely the best neighbor anyone could want to have. She was a lover of animals, nature, exercise and good health, and children. She treated my children's animals and my children with such love and respect - you would have thought they were part of her family. My dogs and cats loved her and my children loved her even more. How could I not love her, too?!

My children and I are are so sad to hear of her passing, but know she is safe and happy in Heaven now with her dear husband, Robert, with her sweet sister, Mary, and with all the loved ones who have gone on before her. I know Father God will have lots of cats for her to take care of and enjoy as well!

My condolences to the family: her daughter, Susan, her sons, and all of her dear grandchildren that she took so much pride in. She shared joyfully all of your sucesses. She was the matriarch of a smart and beautiful tribe! She was so proud of all of you! May Father God comfort you now as you move forward without her watchful and prayerful guidance. Much love to you all and may you remember and carry forth the good example she set for you.
