To my precious sister, Rosie. You always would help me with my homework and with other problems. You are so loved, like you always have been. Your loving brother. ❤Jesse
Rosie, you were the best big sister. I remember when I was little I collided with someone while playing tag. I hurt my nose and it wouldn’t stop bleeding. I remember sleeping on the couch, and waking up and you were sitting on a chair next to me watching to make sure I was okay. You had such a loving spirit. We had so many kids in our family, but I believe God put you in just the right place because of the love you had for the rest of us. I will always love you and miss you, and I hold you close to my heart. Your sister Connie.
In loving memory of my Aunt Rosie, you were an amazing woman. The way you and Uncle Donnie lived life to the fullest. You were always smiling and happy. You will be forever missed. As you have called me since I was a little girl Kimmy (Sullivan) Webb
