Rona Lee Glasser

Ten years after her passing and Ms. Glasser´s voice and teaching still have a huge impact on me, to challenge and be the best version of myself in all things. I hope each of her family, friends, and students feel the same, and may her memory continue to be a blessing.

Always a sensitive intelligent lady to talk too. You never know what life will throw at you. So sorry she died so young and unexpectedly.

Her lessons helped shaped my son's life. From her high school class, he is now ready to start a master's program in International Arts Management. Her legacy is the many students she touched.

Thank you for teaching our daughter, Ria. Art and beyond were the lessons of the day, as I taught violin to your son. I love how you captured the essence of the children at the Group Lesson.

Rona was a colleague of mine at Sarasota High School. We would often meet at the gym, after school, for a general Tete a Tete. She also liked to discuss philosophy and another interesting topic with my partner John, whom she also loved to talk too.
Rona came from the school of questioning those things that most people would blindly follow. She liked to stir the pot on different topics gathering a wide range of reactions.
She definitely was one of those people who died way too...

Hi John,
I am so sorry for your loss.
Alice Zwarts, Mtl.

Dear John, I received your letter today with the very sad news of Rona's passing. I only met Rona that one time when you were visiting Montreal shortly after becoming a loving couple. It was evident you had found your soul mate. Over the years, the pictures and letters you sent expressed the wonderful family, friends and community Rona and you had created and shared your love and talents with. These condolences and tributes reflect what a remarkable woman, wife, mother, friend and teacher...

I felt like a vein of oil, deep underground. No one saw my black gold. Until one day she tapped my veins and, out came a spew of wonder. To everyone's surprise except her own.
