My lovely friend, Rosalind and I have endeared each other since childhood. We worked together and shared an office while working for the Recovery School District. She was a thoughtful and generous person. She touched many lives during her career and personal life. She thought of others before self. God, family, church, church projects, and the precious children of the public schools were her world. We'll all miss her smile, advice, lovely ways and generousity. We loved her but God loved her best.
