Remembering Susan Rosas

On a personal note, I mark the move to more heavenly pastures of Susan, wife of pianist and entertainer Gil Rosas, at the age 86 after a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer.

Gil, 88, and Susan, a former model and artist-illustrator, were married for 49 years, spending the final chapter of her colorful life at Serenity House.

Susan’s father, Larry Matthews, became one of America’s longest living citizens, dying at the age of 111.

A Sweaty 66th

Former TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres rang in her 66th birthday with an intense sweat session at a local gym, a moment caught on Instagram by her actress wife Portia de Rossi.

“My darling wife! You continue to amaze me,” Rossi, 50, gushed. “Happy Birthday to the most brilliant person I know.

“I’m so lucky to be standing next to you as we share this incredible life together. I love you!”

The video begins with the Montecito resident flexing her muscles with dumbbells, shoulder presses, and then doing single-handed overhead presses, pull-ups and even pushing a training sled.”

You go, girl…
