I was her hairdresser for 40 years. After all those years and all the stories told, on both sides. We were family! She treated me like I was one of her kids. I loved all her motherly advice. Ok maybe not all. But I always listened to her . I admired her so much. She was a strong woman who believed and lived her faith. No matter what. There was nothing more important than her kids. She loved with all she had. Then the wonderful grandchildren and great grandchildren came along. They were her joy. In the later years I started calling her Rosie. It brought a smile as she walked through the door. I will always remember the many great times we had together. We laugh and sometimes we cried . It was a special relationship for me. Rest in peace my sweet Rosie. We will meet again 💖
