"My deepest, heartfelt sympathy to Jim, Cindy, & Chris. I was shocked to read of Rosalie's passing. Words seem so meaningless at a time such as this, but knowing that others care may help to bring you some sort of comfort. She & I went through a lot together in our childhood years. Those memories will never be forgotten. God bless you all."
In loving memory of
ROSALIE WERNER
