Although are lives were shared in many ways NO ONE will ever know that when you wanted to come back to me on September 5, 1990 that it was something that woud have changed my life.I shed a tear only to hope the crying will stop. March of 1984 in Hawaii was the best trip of my life with you Rose.I hope your looking down at me now and see just how much I really miss you and that sweet smile would have changed my life. It just took a little longer to grow up.My condolences to all Love Rob

I met Rose many years ago through the dojo. Two very sweet memories of her stand out: In 2002, I was acting in a play in Penetanguishene. One Sunday afternoon, for the final show of the week, Rose and her friend Karen Pereira got dressed up in beautiful summer dresses and drove up to Penetang to visit me and see my show. I was so touched by the effort they made - by how lovely they looked - and very delighted that they stayed in Penetang long enough to take me to dinner afterward. It was one of the warmest experiences of my career. In the dojo, Rose of course was my 'kata' teacher. Two years ago, under her watchful eye, I was working on a particularly difficult move. Not knowing quite how to do it, I kept bonking myself on the head - much to Rose's amusement! But she had infinite patience. She took the time to talk me through the move - to show me how to do it properly, without smashing myself in the head. Soon I could do it fine. Now, to this day, whenever I do the move, I think of it as The Rose Move: she continues to live in my hands and arms, in my very muscles and bones. That's how she always will be a part of me; nothing can take her away. I know I'm not the only karate student who feels this way. Rose is still very much with us and in us. Nicholas Rice

To me, she was always Ms Hughes ..a knowledgeable and funny black belt. It was in Ms Hughes' back yard that we Hodges enjoyed our first dojo grading party, and admired her beautiful garden. I remember Ms Hughes asking me during one of my first gradings to redo a kata, saying, I think you can do it better, and I always like to do my best possible kata for a grading. When we last met (in January), she was feeling discouraged by her ill health, but was talking about buying a condo. It was a shock to hear that her life was over. It's a reminder to me to act now, and not to take anyone...or life itself..for granted.

Rose!!!!! It's hard to believe you are gone from this earth. Although, surely onto something bigger and better. But for those of us left, this sucks. You are the sweetest person. You are an observer (I think you will keep watching). You are very strong. You have the best laugh. You drink fruity drinks (you know, those drinks that taste like white freezee's). And you always have the best gossip. You will be missed. Thanks for pushing me to get up in front of all those people and doing my first solo kata. Dear God, I still want to barf just thinking about it. But you are a great teacher of things. All things. I feel terrible that I didn't get to see you lately. I miss you. I saw your picture today and my heart nearly burst. I believe you are not far away. My condolences to your family and all your friends. I wish you peace.

I was very sorry, and shocked to hear of Rose's passing!! I knew her thru High Park Martial Arts, and she was a wonderful, friendly, helpful woman! She inspired me at karate, and was always fun at parties, usually hers, and a good friend for a after dojo drink. I helped with work at her house and we both liked gardening, but her yard was always a little nicer than mine. In fact she gave me Iris bulbs to plant in my yard, and I hope they grow there for many years! With Rose passing, it's made me aware that life is not for a long time. One must make the most of the time we have. I enjoyed knowing your daughter, and she made an impact on many people! I'm very sorry for your lose and very sad with her leaving us. Gavin Nicholson

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Ms. Hughes passing. I had lost touch with her after taking a leave of absence from my training at the High Park Martial Arts Academy in Toronto. Ms. Hughes helped me along the way and gave generously of her time to help others. I'll always remember her concern for fairness and her

Our condolences to Rose's family and friends. Rose is a special person who will be missed terribly. We had the privilage of knowing Rose both inside and outside of the dojo. She is a true friend that was very dear to us. I have been sitting here for a long time trying to write something meaningful to honor her but there are so many ways that she was connected to our lives that maybe the best thing we could say is Rose we love you and we will miss you, our lives are richer for knowing you and emptier because you are gone. May you be doing your favorite Kata and having a few pints of Caffreys (or wine) with a menu that forever is changing to your whim. We love you We love you We love you The Pereiras

Rose, although we only knew each other for such a short time, I will truly miss your presence. You will never leave the ones who knew you, cared about you and loved you as you will be in their hearts forever more. I believe that the Angels have welcomed you home and you are now free from pain. I was proud to call you my friend. Until we meet again...

I worked with Rose for such a short period of time, yet I feel like I knew Rose all my life. Her humor, her generosity and her friendship will be etched in my mind forever. Her sense of humor was so refreshing; she could turn around the worst day with very few words and a smile. I will miss her greatly and my condolences go out to her family and everyone that loved her and knew her better than I. I am truly sorry for the loss of such a loving and caring person.
