Mickey, Betty, Rosa and JunnieB:

Your Mom was a 'precious' person with such a loving and caring spirit. I will forever cherish her memory and hold that memory dear to my heart.

It was truly an honor to be asked to speak it Aunt Rosanna's home-going service. I think that blessed my Mom too. There was very little left to say after others spoke on her behalf; their talks showed just what kind of person Aunt Rosanna was and reflected the beautiful life she lived.

May her legacy live on in you and your families, and please know that you all are continually in my thoughts and prayers and I love you.
