I am exceptionally fortunate to have known Rose Micou, and to have worked with her in the College’s Bureau of Business Research from 1984 to 1999. Few people know she was the Bureau’s only full-time employee for nearly all of those years, I was just the half-time Director. She truly was an amazing multi-tasker, doing the surveys and compiling databases for the monthly Williamsburg Business Index and the Virginia Business Report, preparing those reports and other Bureau research studies and presentations, meeting the publication deadlines, responding to public inquiries, and doing all of the Bureau’s purchasing. Rose’s caring nature and spirit of helping others was very evident in mentoring and guiding the student assistants who worked part-time in the Bureau, most of whom stayed in touch after graduating. Rose, thank you for being such a wonderful friend and co-worker.

I have known Rose for many years as an employee at the College of William and Mary prior to her children's birth and many years afterwards. We have remained friends for many years. She loved her children and adored her grandson. Her sisters were very important to her also. She has been a good worker and friend to many during her employment at the College of William and Mary. She was a great person and friend. May God be with the family and friends. I will never forget our times together at the College of William and Mary's School of Business.

Tank, Mandy, Brandon, Dave & Family, I am truly sorry for this heartbreaking loss. Every moment big or small spent with your family is a moment that was well spent and a moment that I will always treasure. Wishing you comfort now and in the days ahead. I hope you can find some peace where possible by rejoicing in the lifetime of memories you share with each other and that you will listen for the love that continues to speak without words.
