Terry, Ron, Delbert, Mark, Cheryl,
Rosalie was such a gracious lady. I have known her since Terry became a Scharnweber all those many years ago. Since she and our Mom both moved to Florida and set up residence, the two "Moms" were such a part of all the family gatherings. You couldn't get my Mom out of the pool and you coudn't get Terry's Mom into the pool! They were hysterical together-somewhat like a Lucille Ball sitcom. They brought a lot of humor to us and the memories will be kept alive with stories of their escapades.
I know this is a sad time, as letting go of loved ones always is. I hope you can find the strength to help you through the sadness of the days ahead. And as you gather together to share your memories, I feel sure Rosalie will be watching over you as she dances from star to star...
Please accept our wishes for your personal peace at this difficult time.
Lou Ann Swann & Family
