To Michael, Gloria and Pancha & families,
From the outside looking in you can never understand ... and from the inside looking out you can never explain.
Sharing your grief as someone from the inside looking out. My thoughts, prayers and love to each of you. I walk beside you as a Mother, sister and as a friend. Rose Ann will always be remembered for her trademark smile and uplifting personality.
