Tributes
"Rosie: I am better because of knowing you both as a golfer but more importantly as a person. "Thank You" for being you...God Speed!"
"Aunt Rosie, I too fondly remember all the times you "juggled" so much between your kids and then having myself, my brother and sister to watch on top of your kids. You always had a great smile for us no matter what was happening in your household. I will always fondly remember your warmness, sense of humor, kindness and generosity you showed us on top of your busy "golf" schedule. You will always be remembered in my heart and my thoughts. I know you are at peace (finally) and all of your earthly troubles have now brought you to a place filled with unbelievable warmth, love and peacefulness. God bless you and welcome you now and may your presence be found in the multitude of heavenly angels where you now spend the rest of your existence! Love, your nephew, Randy"
"Aunt Rosie, Though we didn't see each other often after us kids grew up, you we in my thoughts & prayers more than you'ld ever know. You were always so good to us, even when we caused you lots of trouble, like the time Davey & I accidentally started a fire in the garage...no spanking, but a good tongue lashing from Uncle Henry. You will be missed in a big way, & you will live on in my heart until the day I die. I LOVE YOU AUNT ROSIE! Your niece, Terri"
