Queen of her community
Rosa is a kind and loving family member who is dedicated to everything she puts her mind to. If you ever need support she is the person to go to. Do you need help getting inspiration to write? Then Rose is the one to go, in her 75 years of life she has written more then enough stories and amazing art works too! Rose has always been a very uplifting person which makes you feel happy and safe. I am so lucky to know her. In summary Rose is the one I pick at the end of the day.
