Memories and Condolences
for Rose Italiano

Not sure what to say?





Sending condolences to the entire family on the passing of Rose Italiano. What a wonderful and hospitable mom she was to the friends of her children growing up. I always looked forward to being in her company when in the house with Rosemary...and of course watching her make the homemade pastas in the kitchen and then being invited to join the family for a most delicious dinner. What a long and wonderful life she enjoyed to meet grandchildren and greatgrands!!! My heartfelt sympathy to all.

I just heard of your dear Mom's passing and was quite shocked. I got to know her at Village Arms, where we met every other week for a ladies Bible Study. She always had such a spark, and I enjoyed talking with her so much. I will truly miss her wonderful smile. Many of the ladies really loved her and enjoyed her company, as did I. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

So sorry to hear of Rose's passing. She was a wonderful, kind lady and a good neighbor to my parents in Village Arms. She always seemed to know when my grand-daughter was coming down the hall and always took her in for pizzelles, much to Bella's delight. We will miss her and will keep the family in our thoughts and prayers.
