So sorry to hear about Rosie. I had a tennis shop next to the cleaners, and would talk to her often. I know that Ms. Josie will miss her so much. She always had a smile and good word for everyone... God Bless Janice Parr

Rose Mary played Bunco with my group for many years. We had a lot of fun and shared laughter and tears throughout the years. She could always make us laugh about something. When she talked about her children and grandchildren, her love for them shined through. I am so sorry that I will be out of town and not able to attend her services, but I send my prayers and condolences to all of her family. I am fortunate to have known her.
