Rose, I have missed you since leaving Heritage. I have so many memories of us working the garden here together. We also shared working many jigsaw puzzles over the years. We would laugh and banter back n forth. I have wall hangings you gave me that I love. I am so blessed that you were part of my life here at Heritage. Be free my friend!
