Emily and I have nothing but fond memories of the hospitality shown to us and to our friends by the Longs and the Mangias while we were grad students at OSU.
I also remember with fondness our visit to Columbus with my parents and brother for Les and Rosella's wedding.
The kindnesses shown to us during our own wedding will always fill our thoughts. Our heartfelt condolences go out at this time to all the family and friends of Rosella.

I will always remember and love Rosella.
I remember as a young boy working at my Dad's shoe shop. I would always walk over to visit with Rosella and Josephine. I must have been 8 or 9. They might have been in their early 20's. Seeing Rosella at all our family reunions always meant another great visit. She was always kind and encouraging no matter what. She enjoyed being at Kathryn and my wedding and we loved that she was there. Rosella was always so welcoming. She made Kathryn part of the family immediately.
God Bless you Rosella. You will be in our hearts forever.
