We miss you already! The world feels a bit different without you in it, Roseellen.
We will celebrate your like with your many fellow loved ones next week
So sad to hear this news. We became friends at Red Coach training class. I cannot count how many times you made laugh as your “partner in crime.” RIP dear friend.
We met when my daughter Sophia was one year old, now she is almost 18, you were not only my boss but my good friend who supported me in difficult times. Was so sad to hear that life didn’t give me enough time to visit you more. Thank you for the great moments you share with me and my daughters. Bye my dear friend, rest in peace
I stay here hoping to have been able to say goodbye like many people who probably feel the same way. I’m nothing but grateful to have met you when my mother worked for you and quickly became our friend.
I will always remember how you introducing me to Olive Garden where we had girl dates and going to Michael’s to do crafting projects.
I will always remember when you took me shopping for my first Prom dress.
I will always look at the pictures and remember the fun we had and how amazing you were doing my hair and make up for it too.
You will always be missed but always remembered and live within our beautiful memories ❤️
