Tim and Family,

Our deepest sympathies go out to you all on the loss of your sister. Please know that we will pray for you and her. The Darragh Family.

I met Rosita when I worked at The Disney Store at Meridian Mall. She came in at least once during every shift I worked. She always told people that I was her boyfriend. I always admired her energy and spirit. She will be greatly missed.

On behalf of all Tim's friends at Indianapolis Rowing Center I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to all the extended Cordes family at the sad loss of Rosa. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Kevin Connolly
