Dear Family,
Just know that everyone is in my prayers. Aunt Rosie will be so missed. I used to like playing hookie from work to go to those first Friday lunches that my mom was talking about. My children even enjoyed going to Friday lunches with the "old ladies". Aunt Rosie always made us laugh, she was a beautiful person. She will be greatly missed!
Love,
Crystal Bordelean

My dear cousins & families,
Aunt Rosie will be missed so much. I have such happy memories of her both when I was a child, when I would spend the summer @ your house & as an adult with our 1st Fri. of the month lunches. I treasured those times with her. I used to love to listen to the stories she would tell us of her childhood w/my dad & her other siblings. She use to try to teach me Italian & we'd laugh @ the way I would mess up the words. I used to love to hear her laugh. She was a beautiful person inside & out. She was such a caring person w/such a big heart. Every time I would go there she always sent me home w/a bag of goodies. She always made sure she gave me some soup as she knew how much I loved her soups. She always made sure she sent home some banana cake as she knew that was my sister Sandy's favorite. But that was her, always thinking of others. I will miss our phone conversations too. & she always make sure before we hung up, she'd say I love you! I will miss her so much. My thoughts & prayers are w/you all. God Bless.
Aunt Rosie <3
