I was so sorry to read that Rosie had passed. Loved visiting with her when our paths crossed. Prays to all.
I loved my Aunt Rosie so much and will never forget the fun we had. She shared my bedroom when I was five after she got her job at Motorola and wanted to live in town. I went to bed listening to her stack of county western albums on her record player. It took her forever to comb out my long hair when she took me with her to Clarksville in her convertible. I have so many beautiful memories. The world has lost such a wonderful person, and I am so sorry for your loss.
My condolences to the family on the death of Rosie, I enjoyed reminiscing with her sister, Marian, when I would visit with her (my sister is married to Dan). May God grant you strength in the days and weeks ahead and may your memories bring you peace.
Oh this makes me very sad but I have many wonderful memories of my Aunt Rosie. Love to all of us left to remember the great times we had with her!
Terry and Family, I am so sorry. I always enjoyed seeing Rosie at Cedarhurst. She always had a smile on her face and she always had something to tell me about the sweatshirt she was wearing. She will be missed by everyone. Wilma enjoyed her. She would step in her room and give Wilma a little wave. Rosie was blessed to have such a wonderful family. You were always there for her and made sure she had good care. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Sorry I can’t be there Sunday. I’ll be out of town. Janet Miley
