My auntie Rosie was my favorite aunt. She had a positive outlook on life and was always there for me with moral support and encouragement. She was so easy to be around and talk to, a very kind hearted person. I am grateful to have spent so much quality time with her these last 12+ years of my adult life. She was a special person in my life that I will dearly miss.
