I loved walking into the Monrovia High School Gym knowing Rose Carter would be sitting there smiling 🙂 Such a wonderful woman who will be missed!
She was a beautiful lady and I’ll miss my Birthday call each year and are talks about the grand children.
Always loved seeing Rosamond sitting in the corner of the gym during basketball games and hearing her get into the game……..
