I miss my friend! I wish I had heard Rosey passed. I helped her pack up on her way to PA in early January 2024. We sent a great afternoon together on December 8, 2023 and many fun lunches/dinners/ice cream together catching up after she left NM. I´m so sorry that her grandchildren have lost such a loving grandmother.
