Rose was a devoted public servant in an often thankless job which she carried out with nothing but kindness and grace. She was such an important part of #TeamComms and @ChicagoBudget. What a loss, not just for those of us who knew and loved her, but for the entire city. 🤍
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rose Tibayan, wife of CFL Sec.-Treas. Don Villar. She passed away on June 20, 2024, peacefully at her home in Galena, surrounded by family. She died after a courageous 14-month battle with cancer. https://t.co/hn14U48bzo

Childhood dreams do come true! Teresa inspired a generation of basketball players - who can forget 'the shot' from the 1999 WNBA finals?! Pumped to see her bring her skills to the @chicagosky!

While the @USWNT paved the way for women to get paid for equal work in sports, there's still a long way to go for female athletes around the world. While you're watching tonight's game, remember that team Vietnam makes $850 a month. https://t.co/rGnQidhN1d

In a country obsessed with football, an inaugural World Cup appearance is generating excitement...even as long odds await.

There are few people who understood the City's finances like @Yvette_BB. She kept Mayors and many a budget director accountable with her tough, nuanced questions. Not only was she a fierce reporter but a kind soul. Her presence will be greatly missed. https://t.co/BiNqfhwoFO

"Yvette was everything a reporter should be — perpetually curious, tenacious, whip smart, and unafraid to ask the tough questions," said Mike Scarchilli, editor in chief of The Bond Buyer.
