I met Rosa when she taught at Milan, Mo. I was 11. Rosa was a gifted teacher and musician, who passed the love of music on to me. She thought at that time she would never marry or have children. Her students were her children. She was proud to have come from a small community and loved to give back in whatever way she could. I am happy that she found love and happiness in her life and will suffer no more. She left a possitive impression on me and so many other people. I am thankful to have known you Rosa and that you are now at peace. God has another angel and a bright star in heaven now....
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Bussard family at this time of sorrow.

I will always remember going to London in December 1998. Rosa and many other educators, along with brave chaperones, led the Lee's Summit North marching band in the London Day Parade. Memory of a lifetime. Karla Hughes
