Oh Rosy! So sorry to hear of your passing Red! My sweet and spicy friend, you were a force that is forever engraved in my mind.
My first impression I was terrified of you but once I got to know you, I found how much we had in common.
You took me to see Sylvia Brown lol, neither of us got a reading but we had a blast! Was just about to invite you to see someone similar this August here near me at a casino. Didn’t realize you’d depart before I got to ask. Dammit I’m going without you and expect you to show up and take over the the show to tell me what it’s like on other side. I’m sure you are rocking it!
On earth you were 100% who you are unapologetically. Stay you and hold door open when it’s my turn. Love you Red!

I'm so sorry for the loss of our dear loved one roseann . In the summer of 2014. My husband jim and I moved in to rock oak community in clarence ny. Jim and I met Bob and roseann. We were neighbors. As the years went on. We got to know them. They had a dog name Maya. I'll never forget roseann. Roseann was there for me at 3am on September 27,2021. When jim died. Then after that we became close friends. I love that hot pepper jam. I have 2 jars. I'm going to enjoy. Roseann and I went to olive garden a few times and campfire grill. Roseann was a kind,careing,loveing,funny lady. I'll miss my friend roseann. Until we meet again my friend. Love,andrea prenatt❤

"I wrote your name in the sky, but the wind blew it away. I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves washed it away. I wrote your name in my heart, and forever will it stay." - Love you always my dear sweet friend.

My beautiful beloved best friend, I’ll always cherish our 50 years of memories. I lost a piece of my heart when you left us, I’ll love & miss you forever my bestie & “sister”. I keep reaching for the phone, but I know you’re already in heaven, watching over everyone you loved so deeply. “How lucky I am to have had someone in my life that makes saying goodbye so hard”. Till we meet again dear Ro, it’s not goodbye but I’ll see you then.
