Many of us in our online blogging community, the Liberated Webring, the Yahoo Message Board, and members of our own Liberated Quilting Challenge mourn the passing of our dear friend,
I
have been deeply saddened by our mutual loss of this dear,dear woman
and pray for her three children, grandchildren, and her husband. I
shall always cherish our emails back and forth, and the friendship that
we shared over the past five years.Roz faced so many family challenges, and her own illness, with so much strength, and amazing, and lovely grace. May her family be strengthened by her love, and their own sense of family and faith-filled community.

Roz was also a member of my Liberated Quilting Challenge and made several donations to (AAQI).
What treasures those quilts are now! Truly made by the gift of pure
spirit of Roz's heart, and with her own loving hands. I am so proud to
have known her and to have featured this quilts as part of our ongoing,
online group challenge. Bless you, Roz! Roz blogged at Roz-Counterpane and at Rosalyn's Kitchen Hints and published a cooking book. Rosalyn Manesse:Easy Kosher CookingRoz passed away, in her sleep, on her very own birthday. She leaves behind so very much more than even she could have ever guessed or known and and she will be dearly missed.
And as always, I cannot help but to urge you to consider making, or purchasing a quilt in her memory. Roz made, and donated her two quilts to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) as she not only coped with her husband's Lewy Body Dementia, but her own series of strokes. Blessing to all who loved her, may you know that we will never forget her!
And of course, life and loving continue to go on.....as we all celebrate these Judeo-Christian holi-days, and still cope with our own stresses, and life challenges. May sewing and quilting and all of the lovely acts of creation of beauty in our lives continue to strength, and give all of our live continued purpose and joy.
Happy Easter to those that celebrate that blessed holi-day.
For those of you in our Jewish community, may you share, and celebrate
a blessed holiday of Passover, as well.
