My Dear Rosie. I see your sweet face and smile and I know by the Grace of God you will be OK. I know you and Mr. Ronnie through Relay for Life and you both did so much that many people did not know about. I loved being around Mr. Ronnie and his jokes and smiles. I pray for the peace that surpasses all understanding for you now and the days to come. I love you and hope to see you soon.
