Dear Sophia,
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I am so deeply saddened to hear about your mom´s passing. Your mom and I met when we were randomly assigned as roommates at Siena College. We were 17 years old and remained loyal friends and roommates for all four years at Siena. I have so many fond memories of our time together at Siena, (talking all night about life and our boyfriends who became our husbands, dancing with your mom and her Michael Jackson dance moves, attending dances and socials, your mom being a bridesmaid at my wedding, and I attended your parents´ wedding) After college, I recall your parents visiting me at my home and they met my children ages 3,3, and 2. Your mom said, "I want a baby girl just like Brianna" (my youngest) and then mom got pregnant with beautiful you! Your parents were most proud of you and all your accomplishments.
May the Lord bring comfort to your heart. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" Matthew 5:4. May your mom´s memory be a blessing. I am humbled and honored to call her my friend.
Love and prayers always,
Janet HEINLEIN Betsch

My heart is broken hearing of Rosanne´s passing. Rest easy my friend

Rosanne was my Executive Assistant for three years at Swiss Re, but she was my friend for much longer than that. When I would visit the Armonk office, we always found an evening to get together for dinner (she with pinot grigio, I with sauvignon blanc) and I delighted in watching her grill the waiter about her extremely healthy order - always off the menu, usually a lean protein with "broccoli - steamed, no butter". And she would double check when the food arrived to make sure her order was correct.
What I will never forget about Rosanne was her fierce love for her daughter, Sophia, whom I´ve never had the pleasure to meet - but Sophia was Rosanne´s proudest accomplishment and she spoke of her so lovingly & with such joy. I will also never forget how - regardless of who reported to whom - she was really my boss/coach. I trusted her judgment, I trusted her instincts, and I knew that she had the courage to do and say what needed to be done and said. I learned so much from her-our entire team did.
Rosanne was a beautiful, kind, funny, smart, sassy, loving, talented, one-of-a-kind person who I loved and will never forget. I´ll miss you, Rosanne - the world won´t be the same without you.

I had the pleasure of working with Rosanne for many years at Swiss Re. She was such a sweet soul, always smiling and bringing warmth to those around her. We often shared stories about our children and how quickly they were growing up. She will be deeply missed-gone far too soon.

Rosanne was my neighbor at Highcroft! She was a very special lady and I will miss her! She fought a tough battle with cancer very bravely. She is now in heaven with
her loving husband. God bless you
Sophia and your family. You are all
In our prayers!

I only knew Rosanne for a short time here at Highcroft but felt I knew her much longer. She was a wonderful soul. With a great smile. Having cancer myself I tried to help her cope with all that comes with this terrible disease. She was so very strong and her family should be so proud. She will be missed. My heart goes out to you.
