The world was a better place with you in it, and you will long be remembered with gratitude for being in our lives. Best to you and thank you for your friendship. Linda

Rosie had fun decorating the tree for the Garden Club's float in Franklin's Christmas Parade.
In the garden club, Rosie was a marvel! She could always be relied on to get the job done, and her cheerful encouragement and steady good humor helped us all stay focused and also have fun. I feel fortunate to have known her for these past few years, and I will always remember her kindness, generosity, and patience. Rosie will be greatly missed by everyone who has known her.
