    My condolences to the Henderson family on your loss. Rose was truly an amazing woman. For the last 10 or 12 years we traveled together to the Cobeskill poultry show. Our talks on the way to and from the show were not only about our show birds ,but our families and the world in general. It just won’t be the same going there without her. God bless you all and may she rest in peace.
