Artie Mae, Donald Lee, Suzie, and all of you that I grew up and were friends with. I didn't know Mr Rouse that well, but never heard anything but good about him & your Mother. He was a great man, as you well know. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Susie, Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you today as you lay your precious daddy to rest. It is a great blessing to be able to say that your daddy was an honest man, a hard worker, and a true family man. That cannot be said of many these days. May you find comfort in so many happy memories of times shared together. Your friend and fellow nurse, Patty

As an introduction, I am Alta's daughter. My Mother and I , along with the rest of my family extend our sympathies to you all. My mother has always had deep affection and love for her uncle Fletcher. She is eighty five years old now, and although she suffers from short term memory loss, she has never forgotten Fletcher. He is always on her mind, she asks about him regularly. He has also over the past few years served as a force of motivation for my mother to carry on, she oftens tells us and the staff at the nursing home where she now lives that she has an uncle that reached the age of 101 and she hopes she can do the same. She tells everyone that she comes from good stock! I speak for both of us in expressing our empathy with your loss, as it is our loss as well. There is a scripture that I share with my mother that offers the Bible's hope for our dead loved ones, may you find comfort in it as well. John 5:28 and 29.
Much love to you all

My dearest uncle you leave such a legacy I will truly miss your smile my dad was Jessie Jackson we were so excited to see your smile and to be with you on your 100th birthday what a great day for family and friends my dad Jessie thought the world of his family and considered Fletcher a father figure, he favored the rouse family in resemblance and heart , as for my family I say my prayers are with you and leave you with a favorite family bible verse. In my fathers house there are many mansions and where I go
you shall be also . Absent from the body present with the lord. God bless you my family I loved my uncle so .
