I was so sorry to hear of Rose's passing. I often share stories of the wonderful meals she prepared and her amazing baking. I remember her as a tireless worker and a kind woman. My thoughts are with all of the family during this difficult time. ~ Ann Sutcliffe (Borbely)


Our deepest sympathy to the Borbely's and the Nistor's. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Auntie Rosie was a very special aunt who was a kind and caring woman who will be dearly missed. We always looked forward to visiting with her whenever we were in Lestock, Kelliher, Cupar or Regina. Her door was always open for us and there would usually be some poppy seed rolls in a bag when we left. They were so good. There will be a tear in our eyes when we see a coloring book that she would love to have. Rest in peace Auntie Rosie and God bless you! ~ The Ferguson's, Jean, Bob, Bonnie & Patti
