We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Great Auntie Rosie. Our prayers are with the whole family through this time of grieving and loss.
Some of my sweetest memories were Sunday visits at her house. She let me play with Starsky, and she gave me treats to eat. I am grateful to her for those wonderful times. Thank you and God bless you.
Love and Prayers. Joe and Peggy Pagliuca, Brighton, MA

Great sadness in Kapustin, Mckenna and Byrne family with the passing of Auntie Rosie
I will always remember her as making the best grilled cheese sandwiches I ever tasted! I still think of her when I make them or have them
Comforted in the knowledge that she is with her brother and sisters that went before her, peaceful in their embrace Xoxo

My Auntie Rosie was a gentle loving woman. She was the baby of the DiGerolamo bunch. She was always very kind to me and taught me many life long lessons. Her smile and gentle demeanor will be missed. Be blessed at peace Auntie Rose Love Rita. (we are at peace because HE (Jesus) lives
