I met Rose during one of Lynne Davidson's poetry workshops held online. I always admired her poise and grace in the face of her illness. She was an incredible poet and I wasn't surpised when she won the competition. I am sad she is gone but I am so pleased she got to see her manuscript published before she passed. I will treasure my copy of her book always. My heart goes out to her family and friends for the loss of such a lovely person.
