Rose was initially diagnosed with colon cancer, that moved in to her liver, and eventually her brain. She under went surgery on her colon, then a liver resection and had 2 tumors removed, in less than 2 years. When the tumor returned for a 3rd time, mere weeks after her second brain surgery, she was moved to hospice. She passed on January 9, 2016. She was loved, and is missed, by many. My daughter is running in her honor in Houston, October 2019.
