Yesterday would have been your 33rd birthday and we would have been toasting it up good. Since you was here i did the toasting for the both of us. I miss you so much babygirl, not one single day goes by without you in my mind. At times i help but to cry because it hurts so much your not being here with us your family & your dear friends which is to many to name. But i know they have you in their hearts & mind as we your family do. Belinda, Keysha, Neva & La Neishea do check up on me from time to time & La'Neishea had another baby boy & his middle name is Ross. Love you Rosalind & it still hurts so bad that your not here anymore for me to receive a phone call from you out of the blue just to say "hey pops, just calling to check up on you & to see if your ok. You know your getting old & your body is breaking down" & then your give a little laugh behind it & then say the beautiful words "I love you Pops & i'll talk with you later". Starting to tear up just thinking about it. Miss you so much babygirl.

Hey baby girl. Here comes Christmas & i am so not feeling it. You made a big difference in my holidays. Hearing your joyful laugh & seeing that bright smile of yours always made a holiday or any day so much better. The love you've shown & gave will forever be missed. I love you & miss you so much. It hurts daily knowing that you're not with me/us any more. Love you Roz. Your POPS

Rozzie, you are soooo missed. Doesn't seem like time is helping at all. It still feels the same as last year when I found out you were gone. And everytime I think of you being back in OK, I know we would have been kicking it when you weren't working and you would have had the chance to meet your nephews it makes me sad. It's an indescribable pain. You are and will always be my sister. And I love you always and forever. RIP Baby Girl.

Hey babygirl, here it is 3:30am & i woke up with tears running down my face because of a dream i had of you and i. We were laughing & about what, i can't say. All i know that we were having a goodtime together. The last time that i saw your smiling face was on Labor Day, which will be here next Monday & that was the last time we hugged each other, the last time i heard you tell me "Pops i love you", the last time i saw you smile & heard you laugh, the last time i saw you alive. I'm going by Tay & Lady Jaybird on Labor Day to have a celebration for you, because Tay told me that, that was the last time she saw you & got you a little buzzed & how much fun you guys had. Roz, it's not easy dealing with you not being here with us. Lisa,your mom & brothers & your friends check up on me a lot & i try to be strong because that's what you'll want me to do, but babygirl at times i can't because i hurt so bad from missing you. You were a part of me that can't & will never be replace. You're gone to soon & missed by so many. By the way, You're an aunt. Your sister Lisa finally had her a baby & it's a girl. Her name is Saniya Rhymes. She was born on April 14,2011 at 4:15am. She was 9 pounds 4oz. A big baby & i know you would have been an wonderful aunt because of your love for kids. Love you babygirl & you'll always be in my heart & alwaqys on my mind. You made me proud to be your father & thanks for loving me the spacial way that you did. Your my #1 hit & i miss you. POPS

Me and Roz went to Milwaukee Tech together she was a very nice person. I will be praying for the family and just remember that she is here in spirit and may god continue to strength the family in their time of grieve.

God blessed us with a wonderfully talented person who lived to help others. As one of Mr. Williams famous players (yes, they put Milwaukee on the map), she showed the world the stuff she was made of and that was in the classroom, too. Her smile still resonates with me and I often saw her and loved her as one of my babies. When we said Tech, we said it all. Tech's flame of tradition lights those who wore the purple and white with another torch of excellence in Roz. Love you Roz for all you did for me, the school and world.

I had the pleasure in meeting Rosalind Ross, during the time in training her at a large manufacturing plant. She always had a great sense of humor and was a pleasure to be around with at work. She will be missed by all of us. May God bless her and her family.

Sorry for the loss of such a beautiful and talented daughter. I didn't know her personally, but it always hurts when a member of our community is taken away from us. No words can ease the pain, but my prayers are with the Ross/Collins' family. May GOD be with you.

I lived next door to her when she was younger, she has always been an excellent basketball player over on 21st & Center. A lot of us said that we knew she would be successful in basketball and she was. I was not surprised when I heard that she was a professional basketball player, I was just proud, and bragged to others that I knew her personally! I was happy I had the chance to have known her, as well as her family, Spencer(her brother), Pamela(her Mother), and Willie(her Dad). She was wonderful in the beginning, and now she is a "Star." Thank you Rozzzy for just being YOU! I send my love, prayers, and condolences out to the family. Pam & Willie I am So very sorry, may God be with you at your hour of bereavement and always...Love you all.
