“I am with a heavy heart, at the passing of my cousin, Marilee. I treasure the childhood memories, growing up in the same neighborhood, sharing Holidays and everyday life with her and her Family. I realize as an adult now, I was probably an annoying nuisance to her, but she never expressed it. She always had a kind heart and I looked up to her as the sister, I never had. I silently admired from afar, she was blessed with a loving family of her own, who I know she treasured. R.I.P. Rose Ann Finney”
