Rosa was a beautiful person and a close friend for many years. We always had so much fun with our friends in those early days, travelling, fishing, boating, partying and playing cards. Life, family and work came next and our lives grew apart. We will always remember Rosa, .... rest in peace our friend. Lee and Judy

We are so sorry to learn of Rosa's passing. We lived next door to Rosa's mother Mary for many decades and as a result and we got to know Rosa and Sjoerd quite well. We had many visits on the driveway and the yards after Mary passed away while Rosa and Sjoerd looked after the home. We will always remember the kindness and concern showed by Rosa and Sjoerd when the decision was made to sell Mary's home. After the sale of the house, we lost touch, but we never forgot what a wonderful, compassionate lady Rosa was. Our deepest condolences to Sjoerd and family, may Rosa rest in peace.
