So many fond memories of Aunt Rose and your family.. my Mom and Dad were ahead of their time, by limiting sweets in the house. But when Aunt Rosy and Uncle Bob showed up, Mom told me to get on my bike and head to Loblaws and buy some treats for their visit.
I still remember Aunt Rosy sitting next to Dad on our couch when we had the impromptu "after" gathering at our house for the reunion, when most of our Aunts and Uncles were able to attend. Your mother was the personification of gracious. I can still remember her baking something upon our arrival to visit all of you, almost 50 years ago. Love to all your family. Mary Anne

Dear Cindy, Elaine, Loretta, and Robert,
I was very sad to hear that your mother passed away. When we were younger I remember we always did things together and had a lot of fun. She was always helpful and very caring. Rosie, my sister, will stay in my mind forever and in my prayers.

I just want everyone and the whole world to know that I have seven wonderful sisters. Alphonzia, Irene, Eunice, Anita, Lucy, Edith and Rose. They don't know how to say "no" when it comes to "sharing and caring". Rose will never be forgotten. Hope we all meet again someday.

Bob, Rose and Rinny. Washington was an oasis that still rings strong and vivid to this day. Rose and Bob were the consumate hosts. Going to the Masucci's was better than vacation. My love for Aunt Rose and Uncle Bob will not leave with them. They have gone home to our Father and, next to him they have a place. They were beautiful people that raised a beautiful family.

I have many memories of Mrs. Masucci, as my parents were friends with Mr. and Mrs. Masucci, and we all grew up together. But the best one was the night after our wedding and we were opening gifts at my parent's house. Mrs. Masucci sat in the chair in front of us all night and was so excited to see everything we opened! I will never forget the look on her face when we got to her gifts and I will always remember what she gave us. She was a wonderful sweet woman and I will always hold her close in my memories of growing up.
