I met RoseAnn when my mom married her dad in 1979 (?). I was a bratty kid but she was always welcoming and kind to me. Heaven gained an angel. Condolences to those close to her.

I meet Roseann when we were 14. She had a smile that could light up a room. I hadn't seen Rose in over 30 years when we reconnected on FB last year. There was that smile. I will truly miss my friend. My sincere sympathies to her family and all who loved her.
