    My dearest friend, I’m so glad I got to spend time with you before you passed. I’ll never forget our “free” trip to Las Vegas, working in the coat room at the MAG for many years, numerous movies, and the many shows at the Auditorium, GEVA and Blackfriars theaters. Most recently To Kill a Mockingbird, Frida, and Moulin Rouge. I’m going to miss you so much. I know I already do. I love you Ms. Dot. Love Rosa
