Today I watched my Niece Rosanne say goodbye to her Dad...As difficult of a task, she embraced the challenge and handled it with Charm & Grace...I am always so Proud of Rosanne, but today I appreciated the person that she is even more; if that were ever possible? So sorry for your loss honey, we love you!!
