Add Your Remembrance


Rose Marie is my first cousin. Her father and my mother were brother-sister (Max and Tillie). I didn't know Rose Marie well, but all I heard about her was good! She had a reputation as a loving, caring daughter, wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and aunt. I know she will be missed. But I also know she is in heaven today with her mom and dad, my mom, and all her aunts, uncles, and loved ones.

Rose Marie was my 1st cousin also . She still has family left in ND. I only really remember meeting her or being together a couple of times. Most recently @ a family reunion. My Mom always thought & spoke fondly of her. I am sure Mom met her @ the Pearly Gates with the rest of the family. She will probably meet some of the patients she cared for as they fought the same disease that took her from you. My thoughts to her family.

My name is Valerie Undlin Quintoa, and I live in Minot, ND. Rose Marie is a first cousin of ours and her father and my mom were brother and sister. My parents were John Paul and Monica Undlin. I have 3 brothers that all live here in Minot its to bad that we do not know each other since you are the next generation of Giesers. I could tell you some stories about the days when we were your age. I would like to send to you my most heart felt sorrow for the loss of your mom and grandma.
