My favorite memory is my grandma dancing all night at my wedding. She loved to dance! We will miss her gentle and kind nature. She was so appreciative of my mom and the care she gave her the last several years. She loved to talk with us on the phone and never complained. She had so much life and spirit in her. How lucky I have been to have her in my life for 46 years! Her great grand children will also miss her so much! Here is a picture of her dancing at my wedding. I know she is dancing in Heaven now.

I met this beautiful woman when I first took my Mom to tour Milestone Senior Living Facility in Stoughton. Roseanna had recently moved in and was playing cards with her daughter and her friends. She was so welcoming to my Mom and we both immediately connected with this very bright, warm caring woman. My Mom decided to make the move to Milestone as well and Roseanna remained a dear supportive friend to my Mom as she adjusted to her new living environment.
Whenever I’d visit my Mom I couldn’t walk by Roseanna without giving her a hug. I became very fond of her and would bring her fresh flower bouquets from my garden in the summers,
My Mom and I are grateful we could say our goodbyes to this very special woman shortly before she passed, My Mom isn’t feeling up to going out in the cold today for Roseanna’s Service, but we want to send our sympathies to her loving family because we know how much she’ll be missed. She touched our lives in the time we’ve known her and I’m sure she touched thousands more in her 96 years. She was indeed a great Lady! ❤️
