Rosellen Kelly, 8/20/52-7/31/10
I lost my dear friend Rose yesterday to cancer. Mom, wife, friend extraordinaire, writer, artist, and Assistant Head of School at St. Anne's Episcopal here in Denver, she was a treasure to all who knew her. She collected friends like an endless strand of pearls--like the ones she wore at a time when our generation was mostly through with such traditional adornment.
Gracious, hilarious, and soothing, she told me that she viewed death as "just showing up for my next assignment. An angel in life, she has ample experience for her upcoming gig.

I'm sorry for your loss. She had a great attitude.
Words are not enough to express the feelings one has when someone has lost a dear friend. She shall live on in your memories until you meet again, and I'm sorry for the double whammy you have had in the last year with your loss of yet another friend. May you find solace and peace.
Thanks for sharing about your loss, Judy. I feel sad reading about Rose's death and your grief, and inspired by the life she lived which you briefy described. Blessings as you mourn and honor your dear friend. Sue
