Robert Earl and Ms Rose were both so special to us. Everytime they would come to visit they would bring, what I called our commodities,to us from the garden or something Ms Rose had canned or cooked. One time Ms Rose brought us 2 apples. She could never come empty handed. He taught us about gardening and she taught me about canning and cooking. I learned so much from her and loved them both so much. Life would not have been near as sweet without the both of them in it.So many great memories They will be greatly missed. Love to you all. Cindy & Jimmy
