My deepest condolences to Roslyn's family. Although I have not seen her in over a decade, I knew Roslyn for many years having done handyman work for her at her rental properties. I remember one time her showing me albums and she was on the cover. I learned she was a singer once upon a time, and we talked for hours. Rest in peace Roslyn, you are a beautiful soul.
