Jodi Fulton wrote a sympathy message

“Rosie has been our neighbor for over two years. We have enjoyed getting to know her so much. She was fun and loving and thoughtful and was like family. We admired her independence and loved sitting on her deck having a cocktail with her during summer happy hours. Her quilt-making was an amazing talent and those will become very special heirlooms for her family and friends. We will miss her so much! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of her family. With love, Jack and Jodi Fulton”
