Rosalie Mason Hammock

I have fond memories coming to Phx to visit Rosalie (& Jr.) as he was called by my parents, Tom & Ethel Rogers from Miami, AZ.

Please extend our sympathy to the family.

Rosie greeted us by name with her no-nonsense voice when we walked in the door, knew why we were there and when we needed comforting. We...

Miss Rosie was truly a blessing to all the children at First Christian. She loved them as her own and gave special attention to their Bible Schooling. She was a very special lady to everyone. God Bless her family. In Christian Love, Jean Cartier(formerly of Tempe)
