    I have fond memories of working with Rosetta at Caddie Woodlawn. She was full of talents that always amazed me. Her little giggle always made me smile. I am very fortunate to have the famous butterhorn recipe and whenever I make them she is in my thoughts. God bless all of you in the loss of your mother and grandmother. She was so proud of you all.

    I've known Rosetta since I was a little girl. She was good friends with my mom, went to the same church we did, and was the aide at Caddie Woodlawn. I'll never forget her yelling at me and Bobby Biederman for sliding down the hill to the high school when school got out! She forgave us though! *smile* She was such a sweetheart. My prayers go out to her family.
