Rosalina was my dear and loyal friend for many years. Rosalina had possibly the brightest soul of anyone I ever met. She was a true blessing to everyone who met her. It pains me that I am out of state and unable to attend her funeral; I will be there in spirit.
Fly high with the angels, mi querida amiga. Hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar del otro lado. Nunca te olvidaré. Thank you for being my beloved friend; I cherish the memories we made.

Rosalina was always so kind. I have a very fond memory of dropping her off at her house one afternoon, her inviting me in, and us talking for a long time. The conversation was so open and I loved her curiousity and sharp intuiation. I am sad to see her pass and I’ll be thinking of her family. Jacob Kraybill

I attended Community Mennonite Church of Lancaster with Rosalina. She was such a bright soul, someone from whom I learned so much. The world is a little darker without her. May those of us who knew her shine on in her memory.

I met Rosalina several years ago through the Lancaster Hiking Club. She touched so many people in our club with her enthusiasm and positive outlook on life. She let us know how much she loved Nayla and Simon, as well as her family and friends in Cuba. Sending my deepest condolences to her family.  Kathy Conwell

Rosalina was a cherished friend of the local Bahai Faith community.  Whenever she entered a space where we were eating or praying, we could sense her warmth, her energy, her exuberance and light. What a joy and honor to have known her. We will miss her.

Rosalina was such a light. She loved her daughter more than life itself. She radiated joy and always gave huge hugs. I’m so sad to hear of her death. She was a wonderful person. I’m so glad I knew her.

Rosalina was a radiant person both inside and out. She always looked amazing, but when she greeted me she told me, without fail, that I looked amazing! She saw me and loved me, as she did everyone. She always asked me about my daughter. Rosalina was selfless and loved all of life. It is with a broken heart I say goodbye to this beauty. God gave her to us for a brief shining time. With love and condolences for her daughter and extended family.

Bendiciones Naila y Simon .Siento mucho la partida de tu madre mi amiga Rosalinda (como yo le decía)en el poco tiempo que la conocí fue para mi  un sol con sus rayos de alegría amabilidad y amor . Aprendí a quererla y se que ella me quiso tambien.Recibi esa noticia con mucha tristeza porque era mi amiga y no pude despedirme de ella pero nos reímos muchos la tarde que pase con ella sin saber que ese  era nuestro último hasta luego. Se que ella esta en los brazos de nuestro  amado Salvador y que algún día la veré.  te quiero amiga nunca te olvidaré.  Miguelina
