Memory Wall

Rose passed away on March 23, 2011 and is missed terribly by so many. We have received so many wonderful pictures and letters with very touching “Rosie” stories. They are truly special and should be shared. We have created this memory wall so that people can share some of those stories. If you have a special picture or memory of Rose, please share it with us.

Goals for Rose

Collin Anderson is a 6th grade student at St. James School and was a special friend to Rose. Collin is a very talented hockey player. Collin asked us if he could sponsor a fundraiser called "Goals for Rose". Collin collected pledges for each goal he scored during his competition season. Collin scored 22 Goals!! Way to go Collin!! Thank you for this special tribute to Rose.

Helping Haitian Angels

Helping Haitian Angels supports the Kay Anj orphanage in Haiti. The Rose Annmarie Rusch Foundation sponsored a clothing drive to help provide clothes, shoes and new school bookbags for each child in the orphanage. Together with Debbie and Mark Harvey we will continue to help provide these children with support.

Book Drive for HOPE

Rose's brother Matt sponsored a Book Drive at St. James School in Red Bank, NJ. The Book Drive was a huge success and we want to thank everyone who donated books. HOPE (Helping Orphans Pursue Education) is a program that helps educate children in Mobasa, Kenya. These children have been orphaned by parents who have died of AIDs. The HOPE program helps these children pursue an education. These books will change their lives. Thank you so much for your generous donations.
