We all in the Becker Family are grieving over the loss of Aunt Rose. She was a great Aunt and a great godmother. I will always remember her smile because it reminds me of my mother's smile. Please know our prayers are with you that God would extend to you the warmth of His presence as you go through the grieving process. I know as we all remember Aunt Rose, as well as the other sisters, we will long remember the joy and laughter they brought into all our lives.

My condolences to the Arena Family. I worked with Rose for many years at the Catholic Charities Senior Day Center. She was the kindest, nicest person in the world. I also got to know her husband Mike. And now they can be together. God bless you, Rose & Mike's children & grandchildren. You had wonderful parents.
