Our dear old Rosie is being laid to rest on October 16th, 2010 at 2:00pm. She has been a fixture in the community since 1928. Used for a school, library, office space, thrift store, day care, city of Mukilteo offices, ballet schools, basketball court, tennis courts, baseball fields, Christmas tree lightings, theater groups, summer festivals, even a polling place. Yes, she has seen so many faces of persons, young and old. She stood through earthquakes, wind storms and shelter from the heat and cold all of the years. She is a winner! A story of how a building should live its life. Oh, if she could only speak! The stories that would be told! My mother and aunt both attended school there, walked those halls and learned in her classrooms. She taught them the value of life, community and service to others. A firm foundation for life started in the building we fondly remember as "Rosehill" a true gem in a growing community. She will be held in hearts with a smile. Dignified and Graceful in appearance for all that knew and cherished the time and memory of her special wisdom. Yes, Rosie will move into another new building, but she will never be quite the same. So here is to you, thank you for all your years of service! May your new life be good also....
