Roslyn A Scholar

At 3:18 AM this morning I was awakened from a deep slumber and didn't know why. A half hour later the phone rang and it was the hospice nurse calling me to inform me that my beloved mother, Roslyn A. Scholar, had passed at that exact moment.

My mother was on this earth for 90 years. She had a lifetime full of highs and lows, great happiness and great sadness. She married the love of her life and had two sons who she nurtured and sent forth to become the men that she had molded. She was a woman of business before there were very many women of business. She became a leader in any endeavor that she undertook. She was a friend to all who knew her, and beloved by them all. She became an extremely vocal supporter of Civil Rights and marched with Dr. King in Washington, DC in 1963. She taught me that all men and women were equal regardless of their color or their religion and they are the sentiments by which I have lived my whole life. She was always a passionate Democrat and was always involved in supporting Presidential Campaigns. She was a commercial artist before I was born and filled her retirement years with many creations in both paints, needlepoint and sculpture. Many of these pieces grace our home today.

Before I left my Mom at the hospital last night, I spoke to her, even though she was knocked out by the morphine that they had given her. I told her that if God had let me choose who I wanted to be my mother, I would have never chosen anyone but her because she was absolutely perfect and would be beloved by me forever more.

Rest In Peace and take your place of honor up in Heaven

Mommy, I will love you forever and will never forget you..
