Please accept my deepest sympathy to Mildred and everyone in the family of Oscar Rosen. Mildred and Oscar were my neighbors when my late husband, Ned Ruff, and I lived at the Mansards Apartment Complex in Griffith, Indiana. Also, Mildred was a very good friend of my late mother-in-law, Harriett Sheffner Ruff. They grew up together in Wilmette, Illinois. My late mother, Toby Steiner, and I visited Mildred and Oscar at their apartment in Griffith, Indiana.
My heart goes out to all of you.
Sincerely,
Rosalie Steiner-Ruff
Schererville, Indiana
Oscar & his wife, Mildred, 2mos before Oscar's 100th birthday. We'll miss you Oscar. Love--Sam, Sally, Lynn & Michael
