Mom, I love you so much. Where does "normal" come now without you? How do we go about each day without your voice in our ears? How does the drive to Norfolk happen now that you are not on the other side of the tunnel at the end of the trip? My heart is heavy, all of our hearts are heavy. I miss you dearly sweet Momma.

It has been such an honor to be your daughter-in-law. Your amazing spirit of love and generosity has made an indelible impression on my heart. You are one of those rare and special people who have left this world a better place when leaving than it was when you arrived, through all of the lives you have touched with your love, kindness and generosity. I have been extremely blessed by having you in my life, and I will always remember you with a great amount of respect and gratitude.

Not one day will ever go by, that I do not mourn for you my best friend! I so wish to spend one more hour, one more minute, one more second with you, talking, laughing and loving. You have made me into the WOMAN that I am today and you have laid the biggest most everlasting footprint upon my heart. You were THE best, most perfect mother that any daughter could ever be blessed with. Rest my dear mother, in the beautiful presence of our maker. I Love You FOREVER !

Rosemarie was a true Matriarch in every way one could define that role. She clearly led the Wootten family through all the obstacles they faced. She was a true giver amongst givers that was unprecedented, and amazed all whom she touched. She will be sorely missed, but the memory of her generosity and love will live with all of us for eternity. My continued thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family.

Please don't cry because her life is over. Smile because it happened.

With love,
Jenny and Lew Engstrom
