Rowena (Nana as I knew her) was a staple at so many events over the years. I know how much she loved her family and loved being a part of every special occasion. She will be greatly missed by all. She lived a fabulous life and the memories will be cherished forever. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family at this time.

I was so saddened to hear of Rowena's passing. Although I have never met any of you, I knew of all of you through my Mom and Nana. I saw Rowena only a couple of times and spoke to her on the phone only a handful of times, but I loved her very much! I know what a difficult time this is and am sending my love and prayers to all of you!!
