Rose will always be remembered for the warmth she brought into every room and the quiet strength she carried through life. She had a way of making people feel seen and cared for, whether through a kind word, a shared laugh, or simply her presence.
Her love for family was clear in everything she did, and the memories she created with those around her will continue to live on. Though her passing leaves a deep space, the impact she made, through her compassion, resilience, and spirit, remains.
She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her. Sleep in peace, Rose.

Miss Mac was a dear friend and a confidant. She was very loyal and kind person a lady of integrity and God fearing. I remember when she was moving back to Canada she called me to come by her home in New Hall and she gave me some of her best crackery which l will cherish. Our friendship go from way back from when her parents were alive. Although we live in different countries we would regularly keep in touch and keep each other updated. She would always send photos and videos of her surprise parties and the family gatherings. The last time we spoke was in February and she said it was so nice to hear your voice love you and l said love you always Miss Mac. Words cannot express how deeply l will miss her but l know she is just sleeping and waiting on her resurrection . My deepest condolences to Mr Mac , Ann , Errol and the rest of the family. May God give you all the strength to endure through this very difficult time.

Condolences from Fern.
I remember seeing Rose and my sister Pansy going to Catholic school in Mandeville. Her laughter always made me smile and she would always greet me in Town, “Fern how you doing Gyal.” I was so happy to see her at my mother’s nine nights and funeral. She always called me here in America to see how I am doing & we had great laughs. I miss her so much.

Proverbs 31 describes the person I know Primrose was. She was a woman of high character,strength.She was industrious,trustworthy diligent and kind.She would often spoke about how she loved her family.I. referred to her as Primrose,Rosey or Rosey Posey.Right at this moment I can remember some of her stories at the end she would conclude by saying she leave everything to God.In spite of any struggles she had she would say God is in control.To her family .SHE IS NOW AT PEACE.Dont mourn as those without hope.May her soul rest in eternal peace.I loved her in life I will love her in death
WALK GOOD ROSE REST WELL.

I send this message of condolences to the family of Miss Primrose on behalf of my mother ‘Pansy (aka Sadie) Brett.
I spoke with Miss Primrose last year she was overly excited to speak with my mother. Unfortunately, my mother is suffering from Alzeheimers and had no real recollection or memory of Miss Primrose … so she told me of the fond memories she had of their childhood days … and that my mother was her only friend allowed to sleepover at her house. Since the reconnection. I would message Miss Primrose with daily devotions and she in turn would message or send a voice message back to me. Sometimes filling me in with her daily plans and hospital visits. Miss Primrose was a beautiful soul and may she rest in eternal peace. Praying for strength and comfort for the family she leaves behind. Their joy will return, knowing she is resting peacefully in our loving Father’s arms. RIEP

We have known Prim and Mac for over 40 years since they lived in the UK. We have fond memories of visiting them in Edmonton and in Jamaica where we met the family and had a good time… Since then we have been in constant contact before and during her illness. It was therefore sad to hear that her time on this earth has come to an end. Our thoughts are now with Mac, Sandra, Michael, Anne and the rest of the family. May her beautiful soul rest in eternal peace. Love Rose and Wellington Moses and the family from Birmingham, England.
