I don't know who will read this so long after the fact, but I have to let people know what an influence Sister Roselina had on my like. She was my second grade teacher at St. Mary's in Lake Forest. She is the reason I became a second grade teacher who tried to pass on the values and enthusiasm I learned from her. Our friendship continued from 1953 until I last saw her a couple of years ago. I will always remember the life lessons she taught me as well as the spiritual. She will truly be missed, but never forgotten.

You taught me so much about life and the "proper way to do things". I have taken these lessons with me and will never forget working with you and the many luncges we shared....you are 1 in a million - Mark Dray

Dear Kathleen and Family: On behalf of the Flisk family in Chicago's Beverly neighborhood, I would like to express our condolences for your loss. Sister Roselina and Sister Lucille were long time friends of my late father Thomas Flisk, who taught at Saint Xavier. We have fond memories of Sister Roselina at Christ the King as our principal as well as visiting Sister Lucille in Newport at Salve Regina in the early seventies. Our last visit to Salve in1990 was the most memorable. Both Sister Roselina and Lucille were vibrant and hilarious! We will miss both of them.

To all the relatives of Sister Roselina..
Please accept our sincerest condolences on the passing of such a wonderful woman.
We have been blessed to have her touch the
lives of three generations of our family.
My brother, Jim Coulas said that the only
reason he passed her class was that he did a good job of cleaning her chalkboard. She had a heart of gold.

Dear Kathleen and family. I have so many wonderful memories of Sister Roselina from my days iof teaching at St Catherine's back in the 60s. She was such a wonderful role model for me in my beginning years of teaching and was so understanding to all of the new teachers she had under her. She certainly touched the lives of all she met and we are all better people for having known her. You are all in our prayers God Bless You

Dear Kathleen and Family Members - We have so many memories of Sister Roselina from our many years together at Salve. The phrase "they don't make 'em like they used to" does not begin to do her justice. A heart of gold and compassion for students are the legacy we remember. We have fond memories of her service to Salve. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the clan at this time. God bless - Kitty and John Rok
