I never had the pleasure of working with Rosa on a project, but I DID have the pleasure of greeting her in the halls at work and most mornings as I stepped off the elevator on Three and into "another day" at Macy's Systems and Technology ---- she always greeted me with a smile - it was clear that she looked forward to making joy in the day. She will be missed. My sincerest sympathy and condolences to her family and friends. Darryl McCaskill

Goodbye Rosa. I will miss you terribly. I worked with Rosa for over twenty years. She was always upbeat and friendly. My wife had cancer at about the same time as Rosa did, and she was always concerned about her. Rest in peace, my friend. We feel the loss of your presence daily. May God bless your friends and family as they experience this time of loss.

Max and Tom Thumb, I met Rosa in 1980 at Sun Insurance Co. She was a joy to get to know. Then we found each other again in 2001 at FSG/MST! We would laugh, talk, and reminisce daily. I share in your grief. Rosa will be painfully missed by me. I am sending prayers up for the strength of your entire family. Joy cometh in the morning.

My deepest condolences to all of Rosa's family and friends. She was one of my dearest friends and co-workers. She will be sorely missed. Her new office next to me is empty & is a constant reminder of my loss. I'm grateful for the times we shared. She epitomized quiet strength in the depths of the valley and kept the toll of her illness shielded from us with Lots of Love and a smile. Rest now, my Sister, for I will always hold your memory in my heart and your example of living in the valley will always serve as my example of how to live Faithfully in my walk of life, no matter what the obtacle.

July 12, 2011
