We remember special times with Rozella in Don Mills and when she and Ronald visited us in Cambridge. She was always so kind to our family and will me missed.
Rosella was my Sunday School teacher many decades ago when we both went to Bolton Inited Church. I remember her grace and love of children
Remembering Roz as such a gracious lady. We bowled in Don Mills for many years, loved spending time with her at Bethesda United and at The Donway Conneaut.
Happy memories of a fine friend.

I babysat for Mr and Mrs Greenwood in the 60’s. I thought then that she was a perfect wife and mother. She kept a beautiful home and her children were delightful. Both of the parents treated me so well. I have never forgotten them. I met up with Mr Greenwood again in the 80’s when he lived at Central Park Lodge in a room on the same floor as my aunt. I am happy to hear Mrs Greenwood has such a long life. I am sure she was a great grandmother. Fran Badali Hayos
I met Roz at Donway Place and enjoyed her company at meals in the dining room over the past two years,
In that short time I came to appreciate her as a gracious person with a friendly and welcoming demeanour
Meg – our other table mate – and I will miss our friend Roz!
