thanks to all of you who took the time to attend the service we had for dad, or the after party or just talking to me and comforting on the phone or in person. You each helped me get through it a tad easier. I loved looking out and seeing familiar loving faces. I miss our old life ... it was rather wonderful. It is still hard for me to believe my dad is gone. That is one big footprint and handprint to fill. These are the times I wish I was still a little girl:)and could just hop on the horse and life would be grand. You all are a part of our lifetime of memories too..and it means everything to me. Dawn

The memorial service was wonderful. I want to say thank you to Dawn, Matt, and Travis for your heartfelt words of comfort and the tender loving memories you shared. For me personally what you shared made my experience in the memorial service another RC experience that was Really Complete. Gee Gee and our children are privileged to share the Rossman name and that legacy of strength of character. RC lives on in his posterity and in all our memories. It is a privilege to have known Uncle RC and to call him my friend. He will be missed.

Uncle RC,
I loved that you called me "Sarie." I loved spending time with you in your beautiful home in Munds Park. Thanks for being just around the corner while I attended school in Flagstaff. Thanks for coming to Black Barts to hear me sing. Please hug my Nanny and Papa for me and tell them I love them and miss them so much.
I love you.

Uncle Dick.
The brightest parts of my childhood include memories of you. Hunting, playing poker with the big guys, looking for mushrooms, Christmas caroling and those great family get togethers. You always made every family event more fun just by being you.
God bless you

Rest in peace, Uncle Dick. Thanks for trying to get my parents to buy me a car when I turned 16! It didn't work, but I sure did appreciate the effort. I'll always remember the good times at the cabin and the lake. You will be missed. Love, Kidd
