Dear Rose
July 25, 2023
You were a stern mother, rightfully so. I bet it was not easy being a single Mom. At the time I did not think much of it, but now I am mature like you were, I realize the stress factors of rearing children. You were a busy lady. And how did you all fit in that tiny house? No one complained. Your children have done well. Maybe Cecil updated you already. I was hoping to visit him in Louisiana. Charles and Calvin did. :) I'm so sorry that Cecil passed so young.
You worked at Fortlands. Your children learned from your examples; hard worker, bread-winner. I vividly remember your smile and vaguely remember the conversations we had as neighbors. I still have not forgotten the day you pulled my hair ?to get my attention. As a child it was traumatic; i remember thinking how dare you. You had an angry streak some days but in an ok way. I forgave you. Those moods were short lived. Probably I was mischievous! I still like you alot. I see your features in your children for sure. They are go-getters. Sorry about the way you passed. Wish I could have said goodbye. Rest in peace Rose.
