I almost even have not shared it to Tricia when she asked for photos for Aunt Rosie&#8217;s services. I thought, why would she want a solo picture, they must have a lot of it. Besides, what Tricia wanted were photos of Aunt Mary surrounded by the many friends she collected over the years.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote to Tricia the greatest impact made by Aunt Rosie to me. The time when she ask me to join her and a friend for lunch. We had a good time and I also enjoyed the company of her friend, they seem to know a lot about each other &#8211; so I assumed  they were friends from way back when. To my surprise, she met her at David Jones, Aunt Rosie was the customer and she&#8217;s the saleslady. She called Aunt Rosie because she found a new job and didn&#8217;t want to lose touch. Such is ease on how Aunt Rosie endears to new friends.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve met other people like her, but often times &#8211; friendly people have motives. More often, if they are so nice they may be roping you for an MLM. But not A. Rosie &#8211; you know that her interest in you is downright pure. She want nothing from you, in fact she&#8217;s working into inviting you to a dinner or at the very least, lunch in the break-out area in the office.<\/p>\n<p>I will miss you A. Rosie. The countless time you came around to say &#8216;Hi Stranger&#8217; &#8211; almost taunting why I don&#8217;t come around your desk often. I will miss having to hide my lunch because I know you will quiz me on how it is cooked, though you know very well I don&#8217;t know but you want to remind me how lucky I am because I have a wife who looks after me. I will miss the fact that you call us the &#8220;cycling team&#8221; although we&#8217;ve long since stopped having those cycling weekends. <\/p>\n<p>I will miss you but never forget you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I snapped this photo in Tricia&#8217;s wedding, little did I know that it would play a modest role on her final farewell.
