Thinking of you all at this moment as the funeral is about to begin. Wish I could have made the trip to be with you. Rosetta had a great impact in my life and the lives of my children. I am forever grateful. God bless you all.

Rosetta was one of the most most upbeat and positive people I have ever known. So much fun to be around.

I have heard of Aunt Rosetta and Aunt Mildred for several years through her nephew, Charles Glenn Stasel. I send my condolences to all of her family members. Glenn is a brother-in-law to Ralph and Frances McCoy.

My sympathies go out to Rosettas family and friends.
I met Rosetta years ago at several functions and she was also a friend of my mothers, Dorothy Secuskie, through the Eastern Star.
She was an inspiration with all her involvements, which she gave wholeheartedly.
She lived her life fully.
She was a good Christian lady
