Not sure what to say?

Rosanne, I still think of you often and I am happy to tell you that Trent and Guinness are still in touch. I remember vividly you asking me to make sure they remained friends. As grown adults they do it themselves. I know you are smiling upstairs and so proud of him. With everlasting love, Kellie

Roseanne, we miss you so much! Whenever I see a white toyota SUV, I for a moment think it is you and start to wave.

5/15/2011~~Happy Birthday, Rosanne. I missed talking to you today and singing my bad version of "Happy Birthday" to you...and hearing you laugh and tell me I should be a recording star...
Miss you so very much.

Still thinking of you, Rosanne. Always, always thinking of you. I miss you...
It just seems impossible that you are not here.
I want you to know that you inspire me still, to be the best person I can be.
Me, and so many others.
The amazing power of you is still working.
Your sweet little namesake, Shelby Rose, will be a year old this month.
She will grow up knowing all about you and how unbelievably wonderful you are. She will know you through me, I promise....

Guinness misses you sooooo much Roseanne. He told me yesterday that his life will never be the same without you. He misses having that one person he could tell everything to, even if you were going to be mad for a little bit. He knew you'd be there for him. We are always thinking about you and missing you terribly.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Rosie was a great person. Her smile brightened up the room! My thoughts and prayers are with you Dan and your family through this difficult time.

I feel so grateful to the person who kept this guest book online for Rosanne. I find myself coming back to it again and again. It brings me some comfort to read the words that speak of the immeasurable amount of love that Rosanne generated in this world.

Rosanne, you are in my thoughts every day...I just miss you so much. I know we all do. I miss your laughter. And I know I'm not the only one who still thinks of picking up the phone and bending your ear. Your warm compassion and...

Rosanne's smile is what I remember most. She was a great boss and an even finer individual. She helped me mature as a both a manager and a person but more than that, she is a personality that our sons or daughters would do well to imitate. While we will miss her dearly, her flame burns forever in the hearts of those she touched as family member, friend and colleague. So long, Rosanne, I will never forget you.
