Aunt Rosalie,
The memories we all shared will last forever. I will never forget how perfect your hair and nails always looked and that you always had lipstick on. You were always dressed so perfectly too! I remember going to Gram and Pops to visit and you and Uncle Ray and Aunt Mary were there all having coffee and the laughter and talk was unbelievable. Well...guess what, I take after you. One of the greatest gifts is to be able to make someone laugh. Thank you for that gift. You were very much loved.
