We got to know Rosa only last summer during her visit to New Brunswick. We were impressed by her zest for life and her sense of humour. Clearly, she was an excellent role model for how to squeeze the most out of the time we have. She was a courageous and inspirational woman.

Kim, I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose your mom, the only saving grace is she is no longer suffering. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and I am so sorry I could not be there to pay my respect. Thinking about you!
