From Rose's Memorial Program | October 16, 2005

I thought I'd share some of the notes from Rose's Memorial Program for anyone who wasn't able to be there. I hope other folks who were there will include some thoughts, notes or responses to this.

I don't know who was responsible for organizing things but nice job. Maybe someone who knows will post a special thanks to those people.

There were several display boards assembled with concert tickets, clippings, drawings, and photos from Rose's collection. Wine, beer, food and lots of people - many of whom hadn't seen one another in a long time. [brian mathis]

Here's the program order:

Opening | Music

"Ashes to Ashes" - David Bowie
"Long Time Running" - The Tragically Hip
"Summerland" - Everclear


Eulogy | Written by John Valiant

followed by:

"True Part III" - Concrete Blonde


Video | Images of Rose's Life

music played under video:

Many people spoke - I wish I could remember every one and every word

followed by:
