I've known Rose since she was a teenager and her sister Annie and I were best friends for nearly 25 years. In fact, she lived with me and my husband for many years and was a real blessing to both our lives. Rose's tribute to Annie is a profound statement, but I truly believe that the way Rose lives her life, the life she provides for her 2 children, her art, her sense of humor, and her wry observation of life are even more tribute to her beloved sister. I know that Annie thought very highly of Rose and spoke of her often. The last day I saw Annie was exactly one week before she died. We were sitting in her hospital room but, unlike Rose's last visit, we hardly spoke at all. The time went by very fast. We watched "Witness" on tv. Annie said suddenly, "I wish Rose was here too, don't you?" I said yes, I did. After another long while she said, "I wish this could last forever, don't you?" Yep, Anno, I sure do.
