I was thinking so strongly about Rosella today and only found out now by searching on line, that she had passed into spirit in 2010. What a dear soul and wonderful friend. Rosella has a profound influence on my life. We attended many self-growth workshops together and once I stayed with her at her retreat place in Canmore. In 1992, Rosella and I traveled to Sedona together. I have many photos of the fun times we had, staying at a B&B, and hiking up to cliff dwellings. Brian, I still have the book you gave me (The Artist’s Way) with your wonderful message to me inside the front cover. I treasure it always. Would love to connect with you again and maybe e-mail you some photos of our holiday in Arizona. I remember that Rosella phoned me ‘out of the blue’ one morning and said, “Do you want to do something completely different and full of adventure! Let’s go to Sedona!” I said yes and away we went. Such happy memories. Brian, I do hope you e-mail me back. Please give my love to all your family. I will always hold Rosella in my heart. Much love always, Judy Armstrong

My deepest sorrow in your loss of Rosella. May Our Dear God command her soul to His Kingdom.

Hello family. At times like this I realize I should be closer–but I was with you in spirit.

Many people from Arviat send condolences–Winnie Malla and family, Molly Kidlapik, Bernadette and family, especially Lazarus and Norman, Diane, Minerva, (who is here now) Milly, and lots of names I cannot think of now–all of us are thinking of you, Fr Albert, and all the rest of the family.

Look after each other well.

Marjorie

Father Albert,

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your sister, Rosella.

May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead and the memories of your sister comfort all of you in this time of sorrow. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Take care!

Rosella was an inspiring elder in the community, a life-time learner and a woman with a huge heart. Over the course of her life she had found many ways to positively contribute to the lives of others and did so with great joy. She was a healer, a mentor, and a great friend. I have benefited greatly from knowing her and will miss her dearly. My heart goes out to her family whom I know she loved above all else. Blessings to all of you! I wish I could be with you to celebrate her life. She is one of my favorite people.
