Hi I'm Rose Peck from the Alma/St Louis area and Roberta and I have been friends for a very long time. I just talked with her a week or so ago, she was so looking forward to having all of her family there for Christmas. She said the girls were going to do all the work involving Christmas dinner. We talked about our cats, families, what was happening in her park. Her concern was and she told me that she was failing fast and just hoped to make it to Christmas. Well my dear friend God called you home before that blessed day. You are now with your beloved Leo. God bless you.

Hi this is Rose Peck of St.Louis/Alma area. I just talked with her a week or so ago and she was looking forward to spending Christmas with her entire family. While talking to her, she said I just hope I make it to the holidays and the girls are going to do all the work for Christmas dinner but not sure I will make it as I'm failing fast. We joked and laughed a bit, we talked about our cats, grand kids and what was happening in the park where she lived. Rest in peace my dear friend. You are now with your beloved Leo. God Bless.
