My friend of 66 years. I moved to Morningside at age 10, met Roz & we've been friends ever since. Through thick & thin. Roz moved to Australia more than 20 years ago but traveled back to Minnesota every few years to see her children Celeste & Jamie & her brother Nick. We kept in touch all these years, mostly by phone, she was stubbornly allergic to computers & didn't even have a cell phone, so challenging lol. What a wonderful, kind, quirky woman she was...& so smart. We talked for hours. I am profoundly sad & will miss her beyond measure.
Thank you, Shelley, for your words. We were a small community in Morningside, everyone walking to and from school as little girls, including home for lunch, often to a friend's house. My favorite lunch date was with Rosalind, even though she lived further away than most. But she knew the short-cuts, through yards and I seem to recall a wild hillside behind Kathy Arndt's house that led to Rosalind's back yard. And so much going on in her house -- birds. Not just parakeets but exotic birds. It was always an adventure at her house. But more important than that, I've always held Rosalind in my heart, as she gave me my first lesson in kindness. Thank you, Rosalind.
