November 21, 2025 at 4:46 pmI am so sad that my old friend Rosanne has passed. We were high school friends back in Kingston, N.Y. and she was instrumental in me meeting the love of my life, Stan, who I married in 1960. Her dear husband, Jack, gave us a wonderful tour of the Boston area when we visited them one summer. I have wonderful memories of many good times that we shared together. May she rest in peace.
