My condolence to her Family.
Rosa was a very special part of my childhood life, her and Bobby we meet in Seagoville when I was about 7 years old, I am now 43. You will truly be missed.  Thank you for all the love and great memories that you shared with me and my family.

Sorry to hear of the passing of a unique individual and a true circus "show broad" if there ever was one.  Our memories of her and Bobby are all good ones and cannot be recalled without a smile - or a belly laugh!

I wish I had known she was in Houston.  We were working there the entire month of June and I would have loved to visit her.  Guess I have to wait for the Hereafter instead.

I never got to know Rosa. But my family and I were fortunate to watch her perform in Baraboo with Butch. Ada gave me the 9x11 photos of her and Butch performing. They are in my scrap book. Happy memories.

Mamita rosa te extrañare apesar del dolor que siento se que estas feliz a lado de tus seres queridos podras abrazas a tu gordito y a nuestros papitos te quiero apesar de la distancia eras y eres mi todo no te digo adios si no hasta luego

Rosa and Bobby were made for each other, they were always together in good times and bad times and hopefully now they are together again. Rest in Peace Rosa and may you be surrounded by Love and Happiness.

Rosa or as I called her "Rosalita" was the one that gave me my first Jalapeno pepper which she called a green banana when I was 11 yrs. She laughed so hard when I took the first bite!  She used this trick to get all of us at one time or another.  

She was a great performer in and out of the ring! She loved her dogs in her final days who were her family. 

To all of you that made Rosa's life better at the end I thank you. Those people were Inga, Shane and all of her friends in Seagoville, my sister Roseann who gave so much of her time and finally her Neice Irene and Sister in Houston Hilda. THANK YOU ALL FROM MY HEART

Rosa is now in center ring sitting on an elephant and looking good! I love you Rosalita and will never forget what a wonderful sister in law you were even when it was hard times we always worked it out. 

May you be remembered by lightness and love wherever your soul is now.  Love, Buck and Charlie
