Rosalee and Floyd were shining lights in the lives of Ken and me during their stay in Florida. They have been reunited with Ken in Heaven. God's garden is more beautiful with those three roses.

As a young child, I always loved it when she/they came home for a visit, because she/they would sometimes bring presents. On one of their visits, she gave me a doll from Japan and she helped me pick out a name for her (a Japanese name of course). I still have that doll and that special memory. What a sweet lady she was!
