I am the wife of Rose Mary’s brother Daniel Vance Drake’s son Charles (Chuck) Alvin Drake. I never got the opportunity to meet Rose Mary, however, I did get the privilege to speak with her on the phone a couple years ago.
I am working on our family history and genealogy so Rose Mary’s daughter Patricia spoke with Rose Mary regarding me calling her to gain family history. Rose Mary was so kind to give her consent about me calling her and her sharing some of her personal family stories with me.
When I called Rose Mary, she was so sweet, it was as if we knew each other for a very long time. Her memory was impeccable of her and her siblings growing up on the farm. I really enjoyed speaking with her I wish I could have met her.
My husband and I wish we were able to visit Rose Mary before she went home to be with the Lord.
