Sister Rosalie is quite a character. :)
I liked her, but I found her history lessons to be quite annoying; it was just too much information at once. Other than that, you have to admire her for the love she showed toward Vanessa and the way she prepared and set her up for the future.
Her no-nonsense attitude and unwillingness to back down were truly admirable. We could all benefit from having such a strong maternal figure in our lives.

She was my favorite. I relished her, created her personas and gave her a face and body as per the author description of her. She brings peps to the story and the other characters. She embodies sacrifice with her chosen life and brought so much comfort, love and fun in others life. A strong character that personifies strong woman. I even cried when she died. But the author gave her a stupendous burial worthy of the ebullient personality that she was. :tiphat:

I especially loved her history knowledge. This character is very special. We would all be lucky to have a Sister Rosalie in our lives.
