Rosie was a family friend for more than 50 years to my mom and dad and I always thought she was my aunt when I was a little girl. I’ve been looking at old photos and will continue to search and will share them with your family soon. Rita will love the one in our matching outfits with her “bang cut”, and my ringlets! Rose dearly loved her family but especially her grandkids. Mom so wants to be there with your family to see everyone and share stories,but the timing is terrible. I’m sick with a cold and Lacey had her new baby on Monday four weeks early. So we’ve changed plans several times and finally decided today to postpone our trip. I promised mom I will bring her to Seattle soon to see Noel and hopefully other family. Love,Doni
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We will miss her very much. Sincerely, Jeanette Turner, Tina Valdez and Kathy Spafford
