Rose Marie was my cousin and my idol. She was the most beautiful person I have ever known, inside and out. Whenever I had a prayer request, she was one of the ones I always contacted, for her prayers were so sincere. She will be terribly missed in our family and our reunions will never be the same. My love to Shirley Wayne, Judy, Ronnie and Bill. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Nancy Raye
