Rose, I will always remember you and all the fun we had as young children. Although I never saw you much in our adult years, I'll always remember going to the country with my dad and staying with my Aunt Mildred and all you girls. I Love you and you will always be in my heart. Your cousin from Catoosa OK

What made us good friends, you and I. I think I know the reason why. The best in you and the best in me hailed each other because they new. Our being friends was always part of God's plan...
