I worked with Rosie at QPD. She always had a smile and made every new employee feel welcome. And oh how she hated driving in the winter! She always looked forward to going on her `girl´ trips. I will always remember on one of them she took the time to stop at my father´s grave while going through Connecticut and took pictures. I was only ten at the time and didn´t remember it.
Rosie, I´m sure your sitting and laughing with your family and friends having a wonderful time in Heaven. Rest in Peace.

It was with a heavy heart when I learned of Rosie's passing. Rosie and I have been friends since 1971 when we became roommates while attending Gem City Business College. She was at first very quiet and shy, but she quickly came out of that shell! I won't embarrass any of us survivors with details of some wild and crazy nights spent partying, but just thinking of those times always brings a smile to my face. My other forever friend, Linda, and Rosie and myself were blessed with several opportunities over the years to take "girls only" trips to Colorado, Branson, Mo. and a couple of trips to Hannibal. We talked about and planned on taking more trips, but life/health issues got in the way. It was so easy to slip back into childlike joy when we were together, trading secrets and solving some of the problems of the world! The love of her life was Mark and my heart goes out to him in this time of grief. Rosie always, always so lovingly talked about Mark and how lucky she was to share her life with him. She also had so many friends that were family and family that were friends. My faith tells me she is no longer in pain and was welcomed to her heavenly home where she'll wait on the rest of us. Rosie was truly one of a kind and I will miss her.
