It is hard to believe that you have been gone thirteen years. It seems like yesterday that we were talking on the phone. Now Doodle Bug is gone too. Life sure is short and as we get older, the years seems to go by faster. I never thought I would be this old.Please tell Buddy I love him. I sure miss my life the way it was before all the people I loved started leaving this world. I know your girls miss you and Doodle Bug. Y´all raised strong, good loving daughters and I believe they will be all right. They have no alternative, they have to be .Y´all raised to be strong. I miss you my friend.

Rosemary, I still miss talking to you on the phone. It has been eleven years and I still miss you my friend. I remember while cooking for the holidays I was calling to ask how you cooked one thing or another. You sure could cook country food. One day I drove by your house and saw where your resting place is... your rose garden. I cried so hard I could not drive my car. I never got to say goodbye. Having a friend like you is one in a million in a lifetime. Please tell Buddy I love him. Love you too .

I love you Aunt Rosemary and I miss you. You've raised some strong girls and they will be fine and they always knew they were loved by their Mom and Dad. You were the only person that seem to care about me and Binky after Momma passed away. I know Momma, Uncle Woodrow, Granny and Grandpa were there to greet you in heaven!
RIP Aunt Rosemary you always gave from your heart to all your family and friends. Love you, Terri Lee Davis
