Though I've known the Rabbi for not quite 7 years since moving to this area, he always made me feel like his lifelong friend. He had that gift - from G-d, obviously, of love for others. To say he will be missed is an understatement.

It takes a long time to get used to the loss of someone we love. But it is important to remember that they leave somthing very special behind, the memories which will live on in our hearts.

Although our family was separated in spirit many years ago, due to unfortunate influences, Sidney and the Rosen family, has been, and will always be in our hearts. My family's thoughts and wishes are with you all...

Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to all the family. Rabbi Rosen was a very special individual. He was there at all of our family's milestone events since 1969, when we joined Emeth Shalom. He was a special friend as well as our Rabbi. We enjoyed many occasions with him and liked working with him. We especially enjoyed assisting him doing Shabbat services when it was necessary. We and our children will miss him very, very much.

Rabbi Rosen was a very special man. He will be in my heart forever and ever! Everytime I think of our wedding or my brothers Bar Mitzvah I picture Rabbi's face and hear his words. I will miss him. And to Rabbi's beautiful family....I hope your memories sustain you.

I am so pleased my parents and I visited Rabbi and Marilyn just before they left Florida. We got a chance to visit with Ina and Harriet as well and enjoyed every moment.
From my bat mitzvah - the Cranes have considered the Rosens as family. 'Aunt Cleo' was loved by all my children. Even my 4 grandkids give the Rabbi a kiss hello.
My wedding, Steve and Bev, Bern and Marcy, my parents remarrying at 50 and 60 years, Caryn and Lance, Lisa and Leslie, Debbie and Luke- all have been better because Rabbi was officiating .
We have been blessed to have him as part of our lives for so long.....

Rabbi has been part of my life for 57 years. He has married, confirmed, bar/bat mitzvah me, my brother and all my children. He will be truly missed by all of us. After he was created the mold was definitely thrown away.
Rabbi Rosen will forever live in our hearts.
To know him was to love him.
