Rosa Lee was a banking associate of mine in the late 60's. We became good friends that led me to introducing her to my brother-in-law, Carson. In the early 70's she became my sister-in-law. They lived in Richmond for a short period of time before moving to the family farm that she called COW country. I would ride with her to the farm to check on things and always wanted to get back to Richmond before too late. She would always tell me "the roads are not going to grow over before you get home". COW country will never be the same. Rosa Lee, we will miss you. May you now RIP!💔

Rosa Lee was one of the kindest persons I have ever known. When Jim & I first moved to Kenbridge, Rosa Lee made us feel welcome from Day 1. I will never forget how she knew how & did help others in so many ways. Rosa Lee made good footsteps to follow. My heartfelt love & sympathy to Carson, Ginger, Jean, her grandchildren & all her dear friends.

Rosie, as she allowed me to call her, and I have been friends since our days in the dorm at RPI and then sharing an apartment together till I married. Christmas and birthday cards and an occasional visit have kept us in touch. A long letter from her since Christmas brought me news of her physical condition. May you Carson, Ginger, Jean and family find peace in knowing she is now in perfect peace with God in Heaven.
