Not sure what to say?

Dear Harry and Family, It is so right that Roslyn and Rosalie should leave us within such a short time. Their year together was always one of Rosalie's dearest memories, and we were all so grateful to Roslyn for being here when Rosalie left us. Love to you all. Ted, Carol, Alex and Jim

Dear Litman family,

Roz was a friend, colleague and frequent ally when we served together on the ACLU National Board from the mid-'80s to mid-'90s. She was a tireless and passionate civil liberties advocate, a gifted lawyer who left a lasting imprint, and a delightful human being. I am deeply saddened by her passing -- as, I am certain, are all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Dear Litman
Family,
I am so very sorry for your significant loss. We've all lost a brilliant, caring person who had outstanding skills as a human being, teacher and lawyer. My heartfelt condolences to you and yours.

The service was everything Roz would have wanted.

Much love,
Dianne Duursma

Dear Harry,
Every woman lawyer in Western Pennsylvania owes a debt of gratitude to your mother. She proved to all that a woman lawyer
could triumph repeatedly in the trial courts, the courts of appeal, and the Supreme Court of the United States through excellence.
Although Roz deserves great honor for her achievements, I remember her for her for what she lacked: pretense. I will also miss her energy and her keen interest in fine literature.
The funeral...

Dear Harry: I was very saddened to read of the passing of your brilliant mother. Please accept my condolences on your loss. - Jeff Pollock, Esq., Sq. Hill

Sympathy & kindest regards to the Litman family & very many friends wherever they may be. God bless 1 & all. Take care. Believe it or not, I just finished reading (again) re: the Arnold Palmer funeral. Sowat, you say? Ros Litman was in the same league with Arnie as far as I'm concerned
as a very professional class act in the Allegheny County Bar Association during my days in Common Pleas Court. Take care.

Our deepest sympathies to the Litman family-she was an extraordinary woman!!!

Though I didn't know her personally, Ms. Litman was always a friendly smiling person who never failed to say hello while riding the elevators at Oxford Centre. My condolences.
