She always called us "you guys" or she would say "Texas calling." And she loved coming to Texas and spending time with us (as much as we loved having them). We will miss our conversations with Rose and Sam both. I recall one time that I told Derrell that Sam wanted to talk with him and he got on the phone (not realizing that Sam had turned over the telephone to Rose) and said "what are you doing you old bas- - - -?
