My daughter and I are volunteers at St. Mary's Care Center and knew Rosalyn from our "Stirring up Memories" baking group. When we asked for ideas about what to make, Rosalyn suggested Kolaches, which she said she used to bake. We had never made them, but found a recipe, which we used the next month. She was a bit confused to begin with, but soon was participating and enjoying a favorite treat. She said we got it right! Her friends at the Care Center were sad to lose her.
Our condolences,
Michelle and Colleen Potter
