So much to say, so much to say, so much to say.
So for now, thanks Rosie for always being there, the smiles, laughter, unconditional love, treating me like a son, and the BEST blackberry cobbler, made with love, when Roger and I would go on our annual blackberry forage.
Love ya Rose...you were always there for me...everyone!: lovingly, unconditionally. You've no idea the positive influence you have had on so many people, by you just being you!
