It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of WODS Member Rosanne O'Brien following an automobile accident this past Monday. "Rosie" played on Team Fun as part of our Wednesday night league in addition to past play on Disc Pigs and Dirty Hedge Clippers.
On behalf of the WODS Community, we send our condolences to the family, friends and team mates of Roseanne. As an expression of sympathy, players may consider wearing a black arm band in memory of Rosanne during our final week of play next week.
