Rosemary A. Kane

13 years later and still very much missed. ❤

There were so many happy occasions celebrated in that family room and back yard on Colfax street.There is surely much celebrating in the Heavens as we all send dear Rose on her way with our many prayers!!
Warmest condolences and love to you all. Millice and Johnny xo
