When I went first to Melrose Meadows to play the piano as entertainment, Rosye became a friend, and that continued at Legacy. I sometimes went there during lunchtime and had the privilege of talking with her and her friends and having a quick snack with them. In this last year of limited contact with others, I talked with her on the phone several times, and always missed our in-person talks, including her wonderful attitude and sense of humor. I will never forget Rosye and, should I ever have the opportunity to entertain with a sing-along again, I will miss her smiling face in the front row and the opportunity to visit with her afterward. I know her family will miss her, but she truly has left a family legacy that you will always treasure. My condolences to all of you. Jerry Smithey

Dear family,

Rosye's dear smile greeted me again by my computer today so I wanted to send you my love and sympathy. Sorry to be late.

This was the lady who taught me to play bridge w/ her friends Pat and Carol Macon. I went to Legacy every Thursday night to learn from the wonderful mentors who were so patient and nurturing. We enjoyed cookies and chocolate in each other's dwellings. Even with canes, the group loved coming to my home on Friendship Street when they were able.

Rosye is now with her dear friend, Carol Macon, in heaven smiling down on us here in this life. I know she is sending us peace, joy and love as we navigate our challenges and delights.

My love to you,

Joan Cook
