5 years ago we all lost an exception person. She had it all. What a role model she was to all. Loving, intelligent to the max, fun, loyalty. I will always think of her fondly and with much respect. May she rest in peace. I hope to see her again when my time comes.
Much love to her husband, whom I never met, but just because of his great loss.

Ed, I just now discovered Rosanna has died. She was a sister to me, all those years on Trowbridge. I still can see her returning from work each night, late, still deep in thought, walking down the driveway from the garage and 'round the bend to your home. I still cherish those summer afternoons on your piazza, sipping wine before dinner. I still feel how lonely Trowbridge Street was, when off you all would go to visit the Vineyard! You, she and your beloved doggies are indelibly imprinted in my 'fondest memories' file. How I miss her! May she rest in peace, with her much-loved parents. May God grant you profound consolation.

Ed: I just found out about Rosanna. Peggy from PB&L told me last night. I am so sorry to hear about her passing. I remember good times in the office and when I would stop by to visit you guys on the Vineyard. My mother who knew Rosanna from the Thrift Shop in Vineyard Haven sends her condolences also.

I am so sad to hear of Rosanna's passing. She was one of my favorite people on Earth. I worked with her on Environmental claims and stayed in touch with her over the years. She was one of the most interesting people I have ever met. And smart!..You know it. Loved her and will miss her greatly.

I am very sad hearing about Rosanna. I will always remember her from the Space Enterprise Council where she was one of our first Board members. I loved working with her, and she was always someone you could tely on. She was passionate about space exploration and policy issues, and she fought vigorously for what she believed in. Rosanna was not shy, and she stood her ground and held her own in a male-dominated group of big egos. But she did this with such grace and professionalism that she won over everyone on our tough minded Board. Rosanna was also a dedicated supporter of Women in Aerospace, serving as a role model for young professionals. I will always remember Rosanna fondly.

I met Rosanna in 2005 at the International Lunar Conference in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Rosanna, Eva-Jane Lark, Paul Eckert, and I had dinner at The Red Tomato on King Street the evening before the conference began. She was a quick friend and we shared many a discussion at that and numerous other entrepreneurial Space conferences. Rosanna was a voice to be listened to on matters of Space law and social issues. We are all blessed for having known her. Her presence will be missed. My heartfelt condolences to Rosanna's family and friends everywhere.

As a classmate of Rosanna's at Yale in those exciting early days, I treasure her contributions there and afterward in so many areas. She meant a great deal to her college friends, and seeing her at our reunions was always a joy. She is a blessed memory to her family, friends, and to the world in which she made a wonderful difference.

Ed-

Rosanna was beloved within the Space Enterprise Council community and was a true visionary. I know that she loved space and she will always be part of the Council. My lasting image of Rosanna will be of seeing her dance at CompTIA's member meeting a few years ago. With deepest sympathies, the CompTIA Space Enterprise Council family and her friend David Logsdon
