WE LITTLE KNEW THAT MORNING THAT GOD WAS GOING TO CALL YOUR NAME. IN LIFE WE LOVED YOU DEARLY, IN DEATH WE DO THE SAME.IT BROKE OUR HEART TO LOSE YOU, YOU DID NOT GO ALONE;FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU, THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME.YOU LEFT US PEACEFUL MEMMORIES, YOUR LOVE IS STILL OUR GUIDE; AND THOUGH WE CANNOT SEE YOU, YOUR ALWAYS AT OUR SIDE. YOUR FAMILY CHAIN IS BROKEN, AND NOTHING SEEMS THE SAME; BUT AS GOD CALLS US ONE BY ONE THE CHAIN WILL LINK AGAIN.

Rosalie was a devoted wife and mother and I was blessed to be her sister-in-law. Rosalie came into our lives, left footprints on our hearts and an indelible imprint in our memories. We have lost someone we love but have now gained an angel we know. You are now with your loved ones who have gone before.

Rest in Peace Beautiful Rosalie.
