Not sure what to say?

Please look after my wife, and now my son. Say say hello to the Riso clan

Please look after my mother

It´s really true what they say to those you love when they pass away. Eight years ado we said we will love you and never forget you. Aunt Rose, we do still love you and will never forget you. What a blessing you were to all those who knew you and even for those that didn´t as you prayed and did good for all people. You´re our own Special Angel! We love you so..

Our Dear Aunt Rose. On this 6th Anniversary of your leaving this world, the memories of you are many and beautiful. We think of you so often and miss you so much. But we also know how happy you are to be with Our Lord, Uncle Jim, and all your family and loved ones that you joined. Happy Heavenly Anniversary, our sweet Angel Rose! Until we meet again...

To the Riso Family,
Rose was a woman of grace, compassion, love, laughter, friendship, and family. She welcomed me into your family many years ago when I was still a kid. She was always so warm and caring. Rose will always live on through all of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She is in gods hands watching over each and every one of you smiling down with your dad.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. My thoughts are prayers are with you...

To the Riso family,
Our families have known each other for many years. Rose was such a sweet person. I remember going to Lanzafame many times with my mom, they would talk forever! I am so very sorry I am unable to be there tonight to celebrate her life. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
