I am sorry I could not be at the service today. Rosie was my father's cousin. I remember her as a beautiful, joyful woman--so full of life and a blessing to her family. I admired her very much. 
Diane Davis, daughter of Freda and Jasper Elliott

I am so glad I had the pleasure to know you for these long years. You were a ray a sunshine and always had a smile on your face. You will be missed but not forgotten. Maybe you rest in peace.

Aunt Rosie, my Moms sister, like a second Mom to me. So many childhood and young adult memories. We spent so much time together. We laughed, we played, we traveled a lot and watched so many basketball games!! I have such wonderful memories of California, Vegas, Mexico and Sheridan, Tx and many other places. She was my Aunt,, my friend and my inspiration. I hope to live such a long, happy life and always have a smile on my face like she did. Love you Auntie and thanks for the memories.

God generously gave Rosie a healthy, long life. My family remembers her kind spirit and awesome ability to talk with everyone around her. Rosie was especially loved and enjoyed by my mother, Isabelle Vaughan. She has left us with so many pleasant memories.

Raymond and family, We are very sorry to hear of your loss of Rosie.
