I am returning from being out of town and want to give my condolence to the Stump family for the grave loss of such a lovely woman. Rosanna was a fine lady, good mother, great wife and dedicated friend. Her voice, her laugh and wittiness was something to enjoy and certainly something to have as a loving memory.
Rosanne’s life was full and happy. She made time for past friends as well as new ones. She cared about her students old and young. She loved her husband and each and every one of her children and grand-children as well as the great-grand kids.
Her holidays were full and fun. She thought carefully of all her gifts knowing that what she gave would be something worth keeping. She gave me a gift of value that I shall cherish forever. It was something personal to her that she wanted to share with me. She also gave me another music gift that was sentimental to me from a child. Her caramels each year wouldn’t last very long because they were so delicious.
I am proud to say that I was among the many friends of Rosanna and will hold my head up believing in what she stood for.
Oceans of love,
Lisa Ermine
