Leon and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. RoseMarie was such a wonderful and caring person. We were lucky to have met her and enjoyed her as a neighbor.
Dear Leon,
Please know how sorry I am about Rose. She was a wonderful person and I will miss her a great deal. I will always remember how she help me with antiques show and tell at school and hired me out to feed Cleo. I most appreciated the way that she came and watched me play high school softball.
