Ducky,Rosa was my first cousin. We grew up together. We stood on the banks of Jordan together to see the ships go sailing by with our love ones on board. Now is the time for those of us who are still here on earth to watch you Ducky go sailing by, knowing that you are in the arms of our love ones. To God be the Glory. Gloria Kirby-Green

Praying for daughter, grands & sisters..Oh! how 'My' memories of Rosa "Duck" shall always be with me ( Delores). When I spent summers with Uncle James & Aunt Martha Kirby, Duck cared dearly for my every need. She taught me how to make a fire in the wood stove & cook a delicious breakfast/meals for all the family.. (Doll & Ann & Evonne). We were a team..until late Charles Gaddy married my 'caretaker'. But, even thru the many years to come..she & Charles always kept in touch with me & Duckie even ended up being my late mother's (Elizabeth) dear friend,too! Duckie loved her family so much. RIP..my dearest friend, (close as a 'sister/ cousin' can get). (Doll, Ann, Cat & Evonne) the team! Caleb & Catherine Sturdivant
