    My deepest sympathy in the loss of Rose. I worked with her for many years at Bethesda and lost touch with her when I left Bethesda in 2005. She was a very caring nursing assistant and took pride in her work. I don’t doubt that she has a special place in heaven now for her caring ways. My prayers will be with her all of her family during this sad time. Sincerely, Rochelle Schroeder
