Our deepest sympathy to all of the Polikowsky family. Rose was a unique person and will be missed by all that knew her.
I will miss you Rose Bud. Thanks for all the fun times over the years that we had together. Rest in peace my friend.
Don and Gary and families, I worked with Rose when I first started at Mayo in 1976. What a joy it was to work with her and get to know her. She was always smiling and laughing and having a good time while working very hard for Mayo. Everyone loved Rose! Praying that God will strengthen and comfort you and give you peace now and in the days and weeks ahead.
