I can never recall a time when I did not have "Aunt Rose" in my life, She is very well remembered by me and my family. I have very fond memories of her "hardy" laughter and smiling face. I am honored to be a Pallbearer for her memorial service.
With much Love, Your Nephew "Jerry" Gerald D. Zappulla and wife Mary.
