My father, Thomas C. Rose, passed away on Wednesday, March 25th, just days before his 81st birthday. His loss has left a huge hole in our hearts. Dad was a caring man who was always there for us kids, ready with a joke to lighten the mood and a helping hand whenever we needed it. He loved his family, friends, and his cat Iris deeply, and his warmth touched everyone who knew him.

Unfortunately, Dad didn’t have anything in place to cover funeral costs, and his small savings aren’t enough to meet the expenses. We are now facing the challenge of covering all the costs to bring him home and lay him to rest. The funds raised will go directly toward funeral expenses and any other fees needed to honor his memory and give him the farewell he deserves.

Any support you can offer would mean so much to our family during this difficult time. Thank you for helping us remember and celebrate the life of a wonderful father, friend, and neighbor.
