To the entire Sejat family:
It's hard to believe that we will not see that fun smile or hear that crazy laugh anymore on this side of eternity. We have so very many precious memories of love and laughter from watching her take care of others to telling a story from her point of view. She was never afraid to speak her mind and always willing to step up and help. We will miss her so much. Love to all of you!

Dear Ron, Annette, Makayla,Jacob, & Joshua,
God bless all of you during this very difficult and sad time. Hearing stories about Rosalie through Makayla, she reminded us so much of my Mom and Conner and Kyle's Grandmother. She also passed away at 77, and she was quick witted, loved the Catholic Church and she liked to go gambling from time to time with us. We can understand your pain.Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
