Rose thanks for being my big sister. All the years at Sellers Brothers and after, I could always count on you. Rest my sister, rest. Be with Christ.
Losing my cousin Rose has left an empty space in my life that can never be filled. You were my cousin, my sister and my friend. You were beautiful inside and out. You were extremely encouraging and supportive. I will forever hold close the memory of the last time we were together in Atlanta. I was going through a lot and I flew in for quick trip. We shared brunch and had such an amazing time together. She had red snapper and she tore that red snapper UP! I would have never imagined that it would be the last time I would see you and those memories now mean more to me than ever. Rose, I love you. Rest in Peace Dear Cousin. You are finally FREE.

Rest in heaven to my friend and golf buddy. 🥲
My deepest Condolences to Family🙏🏾
To the family of Rose M. McGhee, we met some Fourteen years ago, but finally met in person at the NFDMA Convention in 2013. We stayed in contact throughout these 14 years.
Rose was a Beautiful, Loving and Wonderful person, she always share those special moments, whether it you her golf victories, or funeral events, she would always share them with me.
when she was diagnosed with cancer, she hit me up on Facebook messenger, and right away I prayed with her and for her, there where days when I would check on her, and she would be a little down, I would say to her, hi beautiful just Trust God and He will see you through, she would reply, you right thanks for those encouraging words.
And so as she has been given a better place in which to reside. To her family whom she loved dearly, may the wonderful moments Rose shared with you, always bring you joy, especially each time you look at her beautiful photos, no that she is at Peace and at Rest.
May the Love, Grace and Peace of Almighty God cover you'll at this time of separation. God Bless
I will miss her, rest well me friend and will always cherish the time we share in New Orleans at Convention 2013, and will forever that photo we took on Bourbon Street.
Her friend in Nassau, New Providence, The Bahamas

I give Rose a purple candle because of her loyalty and love for others. I meet Rose a few years ago, and it was such a pleasure. I remember meeting her and we connected as though we had known each other all our life. She was funny, kind and was making sure what did her best. I will miss you, "ROSE". You are a Rainbow Rose full of "LOVE'. To the McGhee Family: May you find peace and comfort in The Lord, today and the days forth coming. Rachel Barnes
To the McGhee family, you have my most sincere condolences! I had the pleasure of meeting Rose 33 years ago, absolutely an amazing young lady! For the past few years I would always remind her to apply for the Augusta Masters Ticket every year. I learn her love for golf, I don't know if she ever gotten selected, but she was always excited to apply for them. She was so passionate about her chosen profession, she was truly a professional with her craft! It saddens my heart to hear of her passing! She will probably be trying to teach Jesus how to play golf! With my most sincere condolences to the family, may God comfort you all during these times!
