So sorry for your loss. I like to believe that when we lose someone close to us they still live through us and give us strength. The time we have spent with those we've lost makes them part of us.

It was a great honor to know Rosalie. I got to know her best when she came to the FPL Retiree functions. She enjoyed seeing and remembering the good times she and Ernest had with our FPL Family.

Rosie and my mom, Penny Davis, worked together at the bank for years, and were good friends. My mom just passed away in April. I am so sorry for your loss, and I know how hard it is. I hope the two of them are having coffee in some place in heaven and discussing the recipes they could share. Again - my deepest sympathy. Suzi Davis Rubin

Donna, so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I remember her being a kind beautiful woman especially when she had to put up with the two of us.
My mom passed away in January and I miss her everyday but I know she is in a better happier place just as your mom.
Remember the good times and the pain will be less.
Take care.
