The LORD replied, My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. Exodus 33:14 His master replied, Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your masters happiness! Matthew 25:21New International Version (NIV) Rosie was a member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Lafayette. She worked as a salesperson in both the cosmetics and insurance industry. She loved praying with her rosary in hand and you never left her home empty handed. Spending time with her family, including her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of which she adored and cherished bought her great joy. In addition, she had two pet parakeets, Tommy and Tammy who she spoke to and cared for daily. Her faith kept her strong to the end of her illness and was known as a soldier of GOD, leaving us all with fond memories and now watching over us. Survivors include her only son, Paul D.
