My heart was very saddened to hear about the passing of Rose. She was so much a part of my life as well as my parent's life (Julius & Edith Dixon) while I was growing up. I will miss her smile and her laughter but most of all her positive attitude. I consider myself fortunate to have seen Rose on my last visit to Springfield. Rose, Debbie, Nora and my wife sat in Barns & Nobile and had a very nice conversation and caught up on old times.
To the family, I know we all loved Rose and we will miss her very much. I know she is in a good place with God watching over her. And may God watch over all of you.

To the Weir Family....Rosie and I had a good time working in good old Dial Service long, long ago for Ma Bell.
Such a nice person who will truly be missed by many. I had the pleasure of bumping into her about a year ago at Sam's and talked to her for a bit. It truly made my day. What a great lady!

Peanut,
I will forever miss you and I love you so much. I have our memories (apockies, sliding down the stairs in your house, running across the yard in my "pitty little dress" and filthy hands just to hang out with my Aunt Rosie)! I am a better person, woman, sister and daughter because you've been an incredible part of my life.
