My heart hurts,Rosie and I had a lot of laughs as we walked.I always admired Rosie,when things were the toughest she always picked herself up by the boot straps and did what it took to give her children the best she could.I will always remember Rosie and treasure the time we spent together.Blessings to her family.

Peanut, Niki and BJ. There was a time that your mom and I were just about inseparable! That was many years ago. Life got in the way and while we’d forever remain dear friends we didn’t keep in touch as often as we should have. The memories I have of your mom are priceless! We laughed. We cried. We made others laugh and cry! We did things that ONLY the Grace of God kept us from being killed! Like the time your mom was supposed to be in Springfield. She was staying with her mom. It was summer time. She came down, picked me and one of my Illinois cousins up who was visiting and we went to Sloan’s Ford! We’d have gotten by with it had we not been hit broadside as we were going home! And there was the time she flew down our drive way, came to a screeching halt with dust going everywhere. She jumped out of the car and ran to the house yelling she needed a band aide. Scared mom half to death! She was having a flat tire and wanted a band aide to stop the leak! My heart breaks for you kids and grandkids while my brain struggles to grasp the reality of her passing. Love one another. Be close to each other. Make happy memories. Make lemonade when life throws you lemons. God didn’t promise life would be a rose garden, only that there’d be roses along the way. You are your mom’s roses along life’s way. She was one my roses along life’s way. May God lift you up in the days and months to come.
