I'd like to take this time to extend to the ENTIRE family of Mrs. Rose my deepest sympathy. This includes my sister Tammy Fuller and my niece DyQuesha L. Fuller. I'd also like to say that Ms. Rose is not suffering anymore. She does not have to bothered with any of the treatments and the doctors and hospitals etc she's free from ALL of that. She has shedded that ill body and is hanging with the angels now. She's smiling and singing and is having a great reunion with her loved ones who left before her. So grieve over the shell she left behind, but rejoice in the knowledge that she's happy go lucky now. And when you see her in your dreams, you will see what I've said is true. My prayers are with all of you, GOD will bring you through-Naye

PSALM 27
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my ememies and foes, they stumbled and fell. Through an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident. One thing I have desired of the LORD, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in HIS temple. Rosie Lee McKinney rest now. May God be with your childrens.
