Rosalee was a lovely neighbor. She always took the time to offer a kind word. Seeing her taking her walk or tending to her garden was a bright spot in our day. She will be greatly missed.

I met Rosalee at FFF (Faithfully Fit Forever). She was a blessing to all of us who had the pleasure of her company. Rosalee was one of those ladies that you felt you knew forever. She was an Angel. She will be missed.
