Great topic for discussion!

Shirley and Rolo both had incredibly sad deaths, but they weren't the only sad ones. Euphemia's death as well as Lelouch's death were also quite sad. I would rank these (including the two you mentioned) as the "top 4." Other candidates include Suzaku's (faked) death and the death of Shirley's father (even though we never knew him).

The one that gets me the most is Euphemia's. While dying in a "hospital" bed, she undergoes the effects of Lelouch's geass, alluding that she is going to try to kill Suzaku. Luckily, she loses her memory (as well as Lelouch's control over her), and Suzaku lies to her about everything she did, saying that the Specially Administrative Zone of Japan was successful, lying throught his tears in order to keep her happy in death. I think that was the worst.
