[Coehd] FW: Sad News: The Passing of Rosita Milk

Dear COEHD, Please see the email that went out today to BBL. Because many of you have known both Dr. Robert Milk and his wife Rosita, I thought you should know. From: Patricia Sanchez <Patricia.Sanchez(a)utsa.edu&gt; Sent: Monday, October 26, 2020 1:10 PM To: Bicultural-Bilingual Studies Department <dobbl(a)lists.it.utsa.edu&gt; Subject: [Dobbl] Sad News: The Passing of Rosita Milk Dear BBL Familia, This past Saturday, October 24, 2020, we learned that Mrs. Rosita Milk passed away due to cancer. Several of you may have met her at one of our many end-of-semester potlucks; she was Dr. Robert Milk's wife. Dr. Milk was our department chair for over 20 years. Others, like myself, knew Rosita for many years as she was Leche's media naranja, and the two were an awesome couple. Rosita will be greatly missed by so many of us in BBL as she always had a kind word or smile to share and showed us her generous spirit at every BBL gathering. May you rest in peace, Rosita, and fly high con los angeles. As soon as information about services or memorials are posted, I will share here. You may send your condolences to Dr. Milk at the following email: rdleche45@gmail.com<mailto:rdleche45@gmail.com> OR if you prefer a mailing address, please contact Margarita Gomez (who returns to work this Wednesday). Below is the link to a recent news story about Rosita and her amazing life's work as a bilingual teacher here in SA. If the link does not work for you (due to a pay wall), I've attached the newspaper image with the full story. https://www.expressnews.com/news/news_columnists/elaine_ayala/article/Aya...
