Roslyn Bernice Firestone

“Eileen, Bill & Ashley, Sending thoughts of much love, friendship and sympathy during this time of your Mom/Grandma’s loss. Hold on tight to the wonderful memories, funny stories, aggravating moments and many antics from Roslyn too! 🙂 Be especially proud of all the love, support and quality you brought to her life for so many years. Know in your hearts that you brought Roslyn great joy. I will cherish the memories of working with her at SMH when she volunteered in the ED. Will also cherish her funny wit and genuine concern for my boys every time I spoke to her. Love you all so much “

“Ilene, Beverly and Brenda – I will never forget how Roz stayed with me when my mother, Hazel, had that massive stroke after a cardiac cath test. Roz never left my side for days. She even got us a room so we could stay in DC versus running back and forth from St. Mary’s to DC. But otherwise she made every trip with me when there was no one else. Sometimes all I would do was come home and shower and get clean clothes but Roz always said come and get me, do not go up by yourself. I will remember that the rest of my life. She was a guardian angel for me. Roz was just an all around awesome person. We had so much fun with her. All my mother had to do was call her if we’d be out going somewhere and Roz never needed much time to be ready. We’d ask if she wanted to come with us and she would say come pick me up I can be ready. She was so much fun and we tremendously enjoyed the time in our lives when Roz was a huge part of our lives. We all loved her and she was fun. I will also never forget all the moments Roz and I personally shared. Once she helped me pick up my motorcycle after I tipped it over (I tried to tell her not to, but she insisted, worried me to death). She also got a snake off the kickstand one time. There wasn’t anything she couldn’t or wouldn’t do. Yes indeed, Roz was a great friend to my mother and also to all of us in our family. Thank you so much for sharing her with us as she touched all our lives in a positive way. With all our deepest heartful sympathy. Take care. And thank you again for sharing her with us.”

“Eileen,Bill ,& Ashley With lots of hugs & sympathy to you all.Roz was sunshine on a cloudy day to many people; when she volunteered at the hospital ,she had a way of talking to people in negative situations turning it around to a positive one. I miss her “spunk” ,No matter how ill she became,she had no complaints, just kept her “sparkle” , love& hugs Suzi”
