Congressman Rose, Family Mourns The Death Of Newborn Son

Congressman John Rose has resumed his official duties after the passing of his expected son last week.

Rose left Washington on Wednesday after his wife Chelsea received medical treatment due to complications related to her pregnancy.

A Monday press release said the baby passed away Friday after delivery at Cookeville Regional Medical Center (CRMC).

John and Chelsea shared the following statement after the passing of their son:

“We are heartbroken by the unexpected loss of our anticipated baby boy. God filled our hearts with joy and hope when we learned that we would be blessed with another child. We may not get to walk with him in this life, but we pray we see him in Glory one day. We ask for your prayers for us, our son Guy, our family, and our close friends who will help us move forward in the days ahead. We extend sincere thanks to our doctor and the capable nurses who gave this child every chance. Further, we extend our sympathy to families who have gone through or are going through extraordinary loss, such as this.”

Doctors released Chelsea from CRMC in good condition on Saturday. The couple, their two-year-old son, Guy, and several family members held a graveside service for the baby, Mack Wayne Rose at the Rose Farm in Temperance Hall on Sunday.
