Rose rests in peace.


11/25/2011: Rose passed away quite peacefully in her sleep last night. A very sad thing, but at the same time a truly merciful release.

  1. Jim -

    I only just heard all of this, and am deeply saddened to hear of the loss. The time I spent at the Rep was some of my best time, and the time with you and Rose would be considered to be "the best of the best." I remember working on ACC and Rose had to sit on my knee during the Fezziwig scene, and she was always so concerned for me, making jokes - transition to working with both of you on MUD... such a completely different experience, and yet one that I treasure for the time I got to spend with you and Rose.

    My heart is breaking just a bit tonight, but know that she lives on obviously in the form of the love she shared and the incredible number of people she touched.

  3. Jim,

    I am so, so sorry to hear the news. I've never known anyone remotely like Rose, and I honestly have no words to express my gratitude for the times shared at the Rep.

    Much love,

    -Nathan
