To all of the Cannavo Family, I just learned of Rose's passing today. My prayers are with all of you. I have such caring memories of her growing up. One of the few people who consoled me when my dad died, and still always checked on my mom. I'm so sorry for your loss, and pray for all of you. She was a wonderful woman.
