Will , Devon and families, We are saddened to hear of Rossies passing. She had a smile that would light up the room and kind and gentle personality that matched. She was a hard worker keeping the restaurant alive for many years with family members that my brother and wife worked so hard for. May her memories comfort all of you as they will help you heal in time . God bless you all.

I haven’t seen her in so long and I always meant to keep in touch but the years slipped so quickly and now this is a cruel reminder that I should have known better!
