I am the granddaughter of Rose's half-brother, William (Effie) Sponski. I and my mother, Betty Sponski Young of Perry,Ohio, began a very brief letter writing relationship with Rose a few years ago, just before she entered the nursing facility. I was blessed to have found her for not only myself, but my mother as well. We looked forward to the few letters we received and we hoped we would carry on the relationship for years to come. On behalf of our family to hers, I offer our condolences and pray that God will comfort you all in your sorrow. - Debbie Zupancic posted duplicate at legacy.com 9/09/2016
