I met Rosa Parker Vereen while attending Esthetician school in my early 20s. She was my best good buddy all throughout the program and we made a lot of great memories and shared endless laughs whenever we were together. She was a stunning beauty and had the most amazing wit. We didn't stay in touch as closely as I wish we would have but still took time to touch base and catch up periodically. In most recent chats she would just gush about baby Nate and how in love she was with being his mom. My heart is so heavy to know that she has left this world too soon and it just won't be the same without her in it. Sending prayers and heartfelt sympathies to her parents, sister, Nate, and all the many others who loved her dearly. Rest easy special friend. Look out for us until we meet again. I love you. -Ang Buff
