Rosa Good was a member of the IEA/NEA-Retired and with her husband, Gordon were also members of the North Lakes IEA-Retired Chapter. They were regular attendees at out monthly luncheon meetings. That is where I got to know them and became friends. We missed them when they moved into the Moorings and I am sure she and Gordon will be missed by many others. Her work as a missionary and a teacher has touched many peoples lives. My sincere sympathy to her family.

Dear William, I was sorry to learn your mom passed away. She and I met when you were a student at Stratford School many years ago. After I retired she, your dad and I had a lot of fun at the IEA/R retired teacher meetings.
