Rosanne, I still think of you often and I am happy to tell you that Trent and Guinness are still in touch. I remember vividly you asking me to make sure they remained friends. As grown adults they do it themselves. I know you are smiling upstairs and so proud of him. With everlasting love, Kellie

Roseanne, we miss you so much! Whenever I see a white toyota SUV, I for a moment think it is you and start to wave.

5/15/2011~~Happy Birthday, Rosanne. I missed talking to you today and singing my bad version of "Happy Birthday" to you...and hearing you laugh and tell me I should be a recording star...
Miss you so very much.

Still thinking of you, Rosanne. Always, always thinking of you. I miss you...
It just seems impossible that you are not here.
I want you to know that you inspire me still, to be the best person I can be.
Me, and so many others.
The amazing power of you is still working.
Your sweet little namesake, Shelby Rose, will be a year old this month.
She will grow up knowing all about you and how unbelievably wonderful you are. She will know you through me, I promise.
I love you and miss you terribly...

Guinness misses you sooooo much Roseanne. He told me yesterday that his life will never be the same without you. He misses having that one person he could tell everything to, even if you were going to be mad for a little bit. He knew you'd be there for him. We are always thinking about you and missing you terribly.

I feel so grateful to the person who kept this guest book online for Rosanne. I find myself coming back to it again and again. It brings me some comfort to read the words that speak of the immeasurable amount of love that Rosanne generated in this world.
Rosanne, you are in my thoughts every day...I just miss you so much. I know we all do. I miss your laughter. And I know I'm not the only one who still thinks of picking up the phone and bending your ear. Your warm compassion and gentle advice delivered with such optimism is something that can never be replaced.
You continue to touch us all...

Rosanne's smile is what I remember most. She was a great boss and an even finer individual. She helped me mature as a both a manager and a person but more than that, she is a personality that our sons or daughters would do well to imitate. While we will miss her dearly, her flame burns forever in the hearts of those she touched as family member, friend and colleague. So long, Rosanne, I will never forget you.

I am so grateful for Rosie. Her grace will be eternal. I will always remember the first time we met. Her smile was so comforting, it lit up the room. She will be missed deeply.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Danny and all of Rosanne's Family. She was truly a wonderful and generous person. She was a reliable and true friend who always did so much to help me and my family. She had the greatest smile that just made you feel good when you saw her again. I am sad and will miss her but I know God has a wonderful place for her because of all the goodness she gave to us. I am so lucky to have known you, Rosanne, God Bless.

I have many bright memories of Rosanne, I worked for and it was a pleasure for almost 10 years at Wyvern, Round Table Pizza. She was truely the best. I know how much her
family and friends must feel a deep void, a bright light has gone out in Santa Rosa, but heaven is a whole lot brighter now. My hope is that all those who knew her and loved her will feel God's love embracing them because she would not want them to feel pain and sadness but
to feel life's joy and to celebrate it's goodness. She was an example of living life to it's fullest. She was fun! God bless and keep her spirit in all of our lives.

Having met Rosie and knowing her for only a short time My Son Kaleo and I was blessed to know a special person full of life and understanding. Seeing the special love between Rosie and Dan inspires us to model ourselves in their likeness and love for their family and friends. To be introduced and accepted by their family and friends humbles us. Our heart felt saddness goes out to all and especially Dan. We cherish our breif time with Rosie and will always remember her thru her friends and family. Her spirit lives thru all she has touched. A Hui Ho (Until we meet again)

Rosie was a friend and neighbor who always had a smile on her face. The kindness that she extended to our children and everyone else around her was priceless. We will be hard pressed to find another woman in our lifetime with as much class and heart as Rosie. You will be missed tremendously by all.

Rosanne was my BEST friend in HS, as it happens she married and we lost touch, I have been searching for her whereabouts forever, and to see she was still in the area saddens me that we never reconnected. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was a great woman and will be missed by many.
