I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother.
It brings back so many good memories of my youth. I spent many a days across the road from my house playing. Rose Anne was like a 2nd mom and always looked out for me.
Hello to Wes, Phyllis, Don, John and Pat. It would be great to hear from you for an update of your family.
My deepest condolences.

So sorry to hear of Roseanne’s passing.
She certainly played a big role in my life,….trusting me to look after all of you! What were she and I thinking!
Sadly, when her birthday card and xmas cards stopped a few years ago, I knew this day would come.
Big hugs and lots of memories. Take care!
