I saw Rosalyn last at Lynn's Uncle's furneral greeting at Greene's Funeral Home prior to the pandemic. Lynn's Uncle was Joe Garrison, Kenny Garrison's Dad. I hadn't seen her in many years. We talked some about the old days back at RHHS. She also told me about her family going to Washington, DC to visit Tyndall Estes. Tyndall served as a page for Rep. Hemphill during the summer following 8th grade. She was a sweet girl. You may remember that Rosalyn's Dad was the radio announcer for RHHS football games.
More about Tyndall. On July 22, he and Janice along with his daughter & son's families went to Surfside Beach for a week's vacation. Sadly, they had to take Tyndall to Tidelands Waccama Hospital that night. He was running a fever of 103.7F and delirious. For a few days, they were wondering if he had meningitis or encephalitis while he was in and out of consciousness. Finally, it was determined that he had a bacterial brain infection. Fortunately, at the end of their vacation time, we were scheduled to be at Litchfield Beach and Janice was able to stay with us. Just Yesterday (8/5), with the infection under control, he was able to be transported to the rehab facility near Piedmont Medical in Rock Hill. Because of his ongoing back issues and this illness, he will be there to get treatment so he can stand & walk so he can eventually go home. Please keep Janice & Tyndall in your prayers.
I always liked Rosalyn. She was so funny and loved talking to people. Haven't seen her in quite a while, but the last time I did, we had a great time.
Peace to her family.
I am sorry to hear about Rosalyn's passing. I'll add a pleasant note of sorts regarding our friendship. We were coincidentally at the DMV on Camden Avenue one morning way back when awaiting our turn to take the driver's license test for what was known as the "Restricted" license allowing us to drive from 6:00 A:M to 6:00 P:M daily unsupervised by a licensed driver. We were both 14 years old as I recall. Anyway, we spoke briefly comparing our nervous anticipation while waiting our turn for the road test. We both passed the test successfully and moved on to join the rest of the driving "experts" along the highways of life.
Rest in Peace my friend. I'll forever remember that day.
At Winthrop Roz wanted me to get tickets for us to see Jerry Butler. In line I saw a girl from Clover. She wanted me to date a friend of hers. Roz, always nice, said that's fine. Well I have been with that date now over 53 years. Roz met and liked Lloyd so it all turned out ok. I loved Roz. Rest in peace my friend.
I have not seen or heard from Rosalyn since probably one of our first reunions, in school she was always nice and sweet, she was a cutie too.Rest in peace ole friend, dance with Jesus .prayers are with your family.
I am so sorry to hear the news of my old classmates passing, and Tyndells health issues. I have been away from home for many years and a lot of my classmates may not remember me, but I still think of the good old days at home. I pray that we will all find comfort and peace in Jesus Christ and the day we may all have a grand reunion together. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. God Bless you all.

Dennis, how fortunate y'all were there for Tyndal and Janice. I know she must have been terrified.
Glad to hear he's back home and getting help.
