To Andrew and other friends and family:
I was a friend of your mom through Delta Kappa Gamma. We were roommates in Cleveland in 2005 where she gave me a beautiful corsage to wear to the banquet on Saturday evening. We spent a few extra days touring the city and seeing the sights. We of course went to the ball game, took in a Neil Diamond concert and visited the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. We have seen one another at different events since and have always exchanged Christmas cards in which your mom would fill me in on her life and travels for the year. When I did not receive one this year I wondered if she might be ill. As you know, Rosella was a wonderful lady who I am happy to remember lived every day to the fullest. She loved you, her dog, golf and a good glass of wine. I am so pleased to have known her and to have enjoyed her company. I am deeply saddened by her death. May she rest safely in the hands of God.
