I've known Rosa for many years, since back when she lived in NJ. I remember how amazing she was caring for her beautiful twins when they were born. She was beautiful inside and out, always kind and she told great stories. I myself feel like I am more quiet in social situations, but what I did share with Rosa was love of dancing. She was my favorite dance partner at Unilever Christmas parties over the years, always ready to have a great time. Those are my fondest memories. I went out this past New Year's Eve with family and friends and immediately thought of Rosa when the 80's party anthem "Celebrate" started to play. Maybe any 80's dance song would have done that, but at that moment I felt like celebrating my memories of a good friend.
I greatly admire Rosa's strength through her illness. Her petite body went through so much, but she was always smiling when I saw her. I feel lucky to have known her and words can't describe the lessons I've learned through her.
Terence, Ryan and Caitlin are very special to me. I am so glad they have so many wonderful people around to support and love them.
Love you Rosa! You will always be in my heart.
