I have always loved and admired Mrs. Rosetta. She was really nice and had the sweetest voice and a smile that was so comforting and contagious. She showed the love of Christ through her lifestyle and by the way she treated others.
Im praying for her family and asking The Lord to give them comfort and strength as the days, weeks, months, and years go by.

with my familys' deepest sympathy, Mrs. Rosetta was a beautiful person and a Godly person. She trusted our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ in what she did. She loved her boys and they loved her. She will be missed that beautiful smile of hers.
God loved her best, when she woke up she was in the arms of Jesus and knowing her, she was truly excited about being in the Kingdom with her Heavenly Father. To God Be The Glory!
Y'all will miss her, but those beautiful memories that you have in your heart of her will last, until you meet her again.
Thank God for a Godly Woman.
Remember earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal, just trust the Lord!
