Mary Lou and Family, I was so sorry to hear of Rose Ann"s death. You will be in my prayers. It is hard to picture the young pretty curly haired girl as an adult. She has done much to make this world a better place by her military service, nursing career and work with the elderly. I know you are very proud of her impressive accomplishments.We will be praying for all of you during this very difficult time. Love to all, Thelma
