To the family of Roshell. I didn't know her personally, but I knew Brenda, She and I came out of Huntington High School. I am so sorry for your loss. God makes no mistakes. He saw the road was getting hard and the hills were too high to climb, so He called her to come on home and said Roshell it is time, come go with me. Family please stay together and stay close because you will need one another. May God bless you and stay with you in this time of sorrow! Jo Ann S. Bishop

My God! I look at the obits everyday, and when i came across your face, I thought i was gonna have a heart attack. I only knew Rochell for a short time. We met at Virginia School of Hair Design, but i will tell you the spirit that she had was so genuine. We instantly connected and stayed that way until she graduated and lost contact. My heart truly goes out to the family and her children/grandchildren, of whom she adored so much.I pray that God gives you all comfort and strength during this difficult time. May God Bless you all.

For love
there's no before or after,
no beginning or end...
As you turn to your family
for comfort and care,
May it help give you strength
through your sorrow...
And as you recall
warm memories together,
May it lead to
a brighter tomorrow.
Here's hoping that the loving memory
alive in your hearts
comfort you at this hour
and be with you always.
WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY

I heard what the doctor said and I saw it when I saw you. I just feel that if Friday don't come, then everything is still normal and you are still at Riverside.When Friday do come is when I know that this is really real and that it did happen.I know that your not suppose to ask why, but still in your heart you want to know WHY and for what Reason.

Once Gladys"Ma" Hatchett and Martha "Big Ma" Hatchett had Three running around at 4513 Orcutt Ave. Scott, Roshell and Lisa and in that order she called us. SCOTTYROSHELLLISA like a Song to let us know that street lights are on and to get in this house. Just when we were just getting ready to play" Mother May I and Red Light Green"(lol).To me I called that being close. Then you got older and wanted to spend more time were you lived. Scott didnt want to come but I followed. Thats when the fun really began, standing in line at the Rec. just to get on that little bus to take us to Main Street to go Skatting and Eatting Double Cheese Burgers at Double Dee's. I can go on. As we got older we grow further and further apart.Why? I told your mother that you wanted to rest and she said that she understand, but I want her down here.
Which is what every mother would say about their child. For me I think you saw that Light you saw Ma, Big Ma, Bill and Grandaddy, and with them you can finally be at Peace and finally be at Rest.
Love You, Lisa
P.S Tell Ma I said Hi
