It is with deep sadness that the UNSRC Jazz Society informs you of the recent passing of Rosa Codina, Editor of the Jazz Society newsletter, in her hometown of Madrid, Spain on 26 October 2007.In addition to being a long-time UN staffer, Rosa will be remembered as a long-time member and essential contributor to the Jazz Society since 1983, providing support as a jazz enthusiast as well as being the editor of our newsletter “The World of Jazz” since 1985 (and Member-at-large a few years ago). Her most memorable and major contribution to the Society was all the hard work she put into to create the 25th anniversary Special Edition of “The World of Jazz”. Her love of life and her total dedication to the Society and the jazz world made us realize that Rosa was a very special person. It was a privilege to work with her, and we are grateful for the knowledge, enthusiasm and friendship she shared with the Jazz Society. She will be well-remembered and sadly missed by all who knew her.
Peace, Rosa...
