Buddy, I was so sorry to hear about Rosa's passing. Evan Page told Dave to tell me last night. I will never forget Rosa. She was such an important part of my high school years. Her bright smile will be missed here on earth, but she is bringing smiles to all the loved ones that have gone before her. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Buddy,
Miss Rosa battled her cancer with dignity, poise and grace. Every time we saw her at church, she was full of joy. It's very easy to remember her smile. God blessed you both with each other. I'm sure that there was a celebration in Heaven when she passed from your loving care to the loving arms of her Savior. God bless you and may He comfort you in your grief.

Buddy & family,
We were so sadden to learn of Rosa's passing. Margaret and I were notified by Waymon Hagan late yesterday. We sat and talked about the good times in high school with Rosa and, though we were not part of her life since high school, how much she lighten our lives during those years. Margaret has a clear memory of Rosa walking behind me in high school trying her best to imitate my walk. She was my classmate and there are too many instances to list of how she brighten those around her. She was a special friend and I shall miss her....
With deepest symapthy,
William & Margaret Ennis
