Readings from the service celebrating Rosie's life
A service celebrating Rosie's life was held on Wednesday 16 May 2012 at the Eglise Saint Robert, Founex, by the shores of Lake Geneva. The service was conducted in French and Spanish by Father Francois Piñas of the Paroisse Saint Antoine (Geneva).
The service was attended by numerous friends, colleagues, and students of Rosie from her years of living and working in France and the Geneva area.
It was an occasion to reflect, remember, and celebrate Rosie. This page contains the readings as well as the music played during the service)
The family is very grateful to all those who attended and contributed to making this a special occasion.
