We are coming up on the 2 year anniversary of Rose’s death. I think of her so often. She and I worked together when I was 16 years old, 72 years ago. We have been friend ever since. Her husband and my husband exchanged work on each other’s houses. Bud did our electric work and Bob did their brick work. In the later years, most of our connection was by phone, due to my health. Our last in person meeting was 2 years prior to her death. It was so good to see her again. I miss talking to her.
