Rose Gayfield's life was full of love and laughter. She has a wonderful sense of humor. She loved just about any craft projects which she passed on to her kids. She loved to read. But what she loved the most was her family. She loved her husband and kids, and the house was filled with laughter most of the time from kids pulling pranks on her with them catching a fake mouse, and her chasing the kids when she realized it was a prank, to listening to her husband playing his guitar. Then when her grandkids were born her heart grew more. She has a special memory with each one of her grandbabies. She would watch old TV shows like Daniel Boone and Lone Ranger, to starting a tradition of passing a rose, to a Rose from a Rose. Playing computer games and sharing her passion of reading with them, to sharing her Mocha drinks. When her youngest grandson at the time tested her sense of humor of her picking him up to spend the weekend with her but he was ready to go back home as soon as he got there and she told him she would take him back later he then told her he would call the cops because she kidnapped him. Years later she would still tease him about that. And every week she would look forward to talking to her son and grandson who live out of state. She loved shopping with her girls. Going to local stores and start jokingly argue at the store, making the cashier laugh at our antics. She loved meeting her Great-Grandson when she first meet him after he was born.
