And for a walk down memory lane from the Baltimore Sun...from June 2000
Tripp receives a hero’s welcome for speech to conservative group
S.C. audience hears vow to subpoena her enemies
June 04, 2000|By Del Quentin Wilber | Del Quentin Wilber,SUN STAFF
CHARLESTON, S.C. - ...
Tripp addressed the group last night at a conference organized by members of the conservative South Carolina chapter of FreeRepublic.com...
Susie Graham, 48, of Texas decided to fly here Thursday because she wanted to thank Tripp for exposing Clinton’s misdeeds.
Graham said she went to a local restaurant and was suddenly embraced by Tripp, who told Graham that she had read her many posts on FreeRepublic.com.
“She grabbed me hard and hugged me,” said Graham, whose screen name is Yellow Rose of Texas. “She said she reads my posts. I was the celebrity, not her.”
It would be hard for Tripp to find a more receptive audience in the United States.
Ping to Rosie’ obit above at 186.
Thanks, amom.

I try very hard to celebrate life instead of mourning death. But when we lose one this good, it’s hard not to mourn.
Nevertheless ... Celebrating the painfully short time we had with Rose. And secretly mourning that our ranks are lesser for the loss ...
What very sad news! God rest her soul.......
You say it so well.
Such a hole... *sigh*
BTTT
Wow I didn’t know,nice person.We will pray for her family,Fatima
In 10 minutes, at 2pm, I will face Midland & tip mt hat to one of the finest women I ever (cyber)knew.
She will be missed.
Does FR still do the legacy thread of decent FReepers who have passed away?
Go with God...
Yes there is a memorial page. The link is at the bottom of FR’s homepage.
Jimrob will be adding Rosie to it in good time.
