Rose Marie, We had known each other for over 50 + years since we were in the beginning of high school until on the sad day when you passed away. Sometimes the good Lord has a way of putting special people in our lives and sweetie that special person was you for me and it has been that forever .I have so many wonderful memories of you and me. The time we went to Folly Beach with some other friends and my sister Diana , we got so sunburn we looked like red lobsters and it was not a fun night because no of us get comfy. We both worked at Pineheaven Shopping Center( no one probably won´t remember that(LOL) and going to school. Rose , we are sisters and you were always there for me and we could call each other any time of day or night . We sure could talk for a couple of hours or maybe longer I guess or weather it be a serious subject or just be silly and laughing. We have stayed in touched and watched our family become families when the children were born and where ever you and Don were stationed we stayed in contact .Sweetie, you will always be in my heart and soul . A piece of my heart went with you when the Lord Jesus Christ sent his Angels for you my sweet , amazing , wonderful sister. Your wonderful family will always be my family forever. I know there will be times when I want to call you and just chit chat but you know what my precious sister all I have to do is look up towards the heavens and we can still talk to each other. Am so very thankful that you were that special person that lives on in my life and each person that you touch their lives. Rose, Sweetie you showed the love in so many ways, love for you awesome family, you would help anyone in need! She had a heart of gold. My sweet sister I will truly miss you so very much. God is watching overall of your wonderful families. R I P my dear special friend/ sister I love you Rose Marie Short
