    Aunt Rosemary, I am not sure what I am to do with out you. I have admired you since I was a young girl. We (my siblings and I)would always be so excited when you bring cookies, fudge, etc over for us to eat, or when I would stay the night and would go to look for fools gold, take a walk into the woods. As an adult helping you pick persimmons and run them through, talking you to your medical appts or helping you when you didn’t feel good. One of my last memories was taking you to Christmas shop for the grand babies. My heart is so broken. I was blessed to know you, be related to you, to love you.

    Very sorry for your loss. My dad was Clinton Batchelor. His mother, Emma Pipher Batchelor Mullis and Aunt Minnie were sisters. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Absolutely devastating losing both parents in such a short period of time. May God provide strength and comfort for all.
