Proud To Call Her My Friend

Sometimes we get busy in our own little world and fail to recognize the nice things that happen in our community everyday. Little things like the garbage being collected along the road sides, in our parks and on the corner by our house. Little things like helping a disabled, blind man find his way in a sighted world. Little things like being a representative for your homeowner's association in the group, known as United Communities. Little things like the volunteer that spends many hours promoting the Cancer Society. Little things like helping the Spring Hill Rotary raise awareness for a dog park and then help raise funds for that project as well. Little things like participate in a Republican Club to promote awareness for the party platform. Little things like bake hundreds of Christmas cookies for migrant worker's children. Little things like just being there for a friend to chat and pass the time of day. Roll all these little things done each week and you will see a very remarkable woman named Rose Rocco. Mrs. Rocco is one of the nicer things that has happened to Hernando County. She is always ready to roll up her sleeves to give someone, or organization, a hand. The most remarkable thing about Rose Rocco is she never asks for anything in return for her kindness and is only looking for ways to improve our community. I'm sure many of you know of a special person just like Rose, and if you do, say thanks to them. This is my way to say thanks to Rose Rocco for all she does in our community and to also say I'm proud to call her my friend.
