My mother lived on 4th floor at Rosewood for 4 years and just passed away last week! I loved visiting with Dorothy when I would be up there visiting, and I’d get the gals to play cards, visit, etc. My sincere condolences to you all!
Grandma you will be missed.
Rest in peace Aunt Dorothy. I’m sure that you, Aunt Doris & Uncle Johnny will all be dancing & playing
cards together and Uncle Eddie and Grandma Mickelson will be supervising. Mom will be joining you guys in the future. Save a chair for her.
