I so sorry to hear of Rosanna's passing. I lived across the street from her and Joe about 14 years before I moved to Wisconsin a year ago. I attend Central Christian church with her and i was one of the ladies that had lunch after church with her. She was such a sweet lady and will be greatly missed very much. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

We wish we could be with you today as you celebrate your mom's long life. We enjoyed meeting the gracious person she was at Paxton family events. We remember her as peaceful and kind.
May she be blessed as she moves on and may you be blessed as you move on without Rosanna.
Much love to you and your families.
