Joe my last visit with your Mom she was tending to her rose's.We went inside to her kitchen surrounded by all of her families pictures. I was returning her EHS graduation picture she gave to my late Mother Mary Starble her childhood friend. Those couple of hours with Teresa Rose was like talking to "my Mom" again and a memory I treasure. I did see her on TV at the Parlin dedication and her smile was so wonderful to see. My deepest sympathy to all who loves her. Bobby(Starble)Dooley
