Message from the family of Gwen Brown-Rose below

The Browne and Rose family would like to thank everyone for their part in laying Althea Aurea Gwendoline Browne Rose to rest. It was a beautiful day in many ways and will play in a part in helping us come to terms with our loss. Gwen has left a massive gap in our lives but the ministers, the church members, the choir, the ushers and all who helped and attended are greatly appreciated. Thank you for being there in mind, body and spirit and for supporting us with your kind and loving words. 

For Ever Grateful 

The Browne family and Carl Rose and Family
