Wallace,
I was so sad to hear about Rose Ella. You have a lot of good memories of Rose and those are the ones you need to get you through this. Rose had a tremendous amount of love and caring in that little body of hers! Rose was one of the most unselfish people I have ever met (besides you), and always thought of other people, did for other people, and truly cared about other people before a single thought ever crossed her mind about her own wants or needs. You and Rose would just stop by and cut my parents’ grass just because you wanted to do what you could to help. I know Rose will be laughing that laugh of hers when she can see everything & know that she passed on her caring & unselfish qualities to her family & friends. I hope that her youngest family members, grandson Jeremy Witt & great-granddaughter Tuesday Carter, knew her long enough to pick up her wonderful attitude about life. Love to all of you.
