To Len and family, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Rosalina. We were in the same class together. I always found her to be a very nice person and very friendly to all. I haven’t seen her in years but know she loved you and her family very much. Remember your good times and it will help in the days to come. Rest in peace and fly high with the angels.
