Ros was a member of my art group many, many years ago in Cleveland Heights. Although we lost touch, I would occasionally see her out and about and she always greeted me with a smile and enthusiasm. She was a lovely, gracious person and I so admired her commitment to the joy of making art, and friends. My sincerest condolences to the family.
