Gini expressed my sentiments exactly and so beautifully too! As I read (and cried) through your loving tribute to this truly remarkable woman, I couldn't help but think, "that is our Slick!" What a strong, independent, woman she was; a true survivor! And I'll bet she saw more than a bit of herself in you. No doubt she was very proud to call you her grandaughter and loved you very, very much. I'm sure she took great comfort in having your their by her side as she passed Slick. She surely deserved a peaceful passing, surrounded by loved ones, after having endured so much sadness and abuse during her lifetime. It was a privilege to been given a glimpse into the life of this wonderful, very special woman! Happy Birthday to you dear, sweet Rose! Love, Sandra
