Aunt Roseann
You have got to be the BEST aunt anyone could have ever asked for. You were the best example of how to root for the underdog, along with my mom. You are the true "ANG". Thank you for everything you have done for me and all of us. You have truely left a mark on my life and I wish I could be half the gentle, caring and loving person you were. You raised a beautiful family and should truly be proud. You will be very missed. Say hello to BUD and DOT, Michael and Jimmy for me and celebrate with Uncle Frank, Jimmy, Billy, Dary and your brothers. You are with them all now. Please continue to pray for me (even tho I do have others praying for me) I can always use more.GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME
I LOVE YOU
Donna

It's hard to find the words to describe how much you meant to me. On the first Mother's Day after I married Bob I gave you a plaque with a poem on it called "My Other Mother." Those words always rang true for the next 20 years. You were my other mother. I am so blessed to have had you in my life. You were a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister, wife, friend, and just overall great person. I know you are now having a grand celebration with Pop, Jimmy, Billy, Dori and all your other brothers and sisters. Give them all big hugs from us. I will love and miss you forever. Thank you for sharing your wonderful son with me.

Mom, You are the BEST!!! We love you so VERY much and were SO blessed to have had your incredible love in our life. NO MATTER WHAT, you loved us unconditionally! You believed in us totally and were ALWAYS in our corner (even when we didn't deserve it). You taught us about what it means to really love each other, and we will try to love with your wholehearted love until we are all together in heaven. Give Dorrie, Dad, baby Johnny, Jimmy and Billy kisses and hugs from us and know that we will NEVER forget you or your loving kindness. And, just as everyday you prayed for us all, and also for "those who have no one to pray for them," I will pledge to pray for those who have no one to pray for them and no one to love them. You are STILL my best friend and my hero (or is it heroine?) Love Forever, Carolann

Roseann was such a sweet, kind, gentle, generous, loving person. It was a real blessing to have her in my life.

A few years ago when she became unable to leave the house I received permission to bring her Communion. They give you a printout of a little liturgy to go through and part of that is a section when any people who are present say what their prayer intentions are. With Roseann, and with Dorrie before her, this section could take a long while. Roseann always named each of her children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren and all in-laws and any one else who she knew who was sick or was mourning the death of a loved one. Her last prayer intention was always the same - "and God bless everyone who has no one to pray for them."
