God must need some very special and loving people in heaven to help him. Doctor Al was needed and now God seems to have called on Grandma to help him.I know what a strong lady you are . Now you must be strong once again.I am so sorry the girls lost their father and now their loving Grandmother.
Love to you all

Mary ,
I just received an e-mail of Albert's passing.I am deeply,deeply saddened.I know that all the Rosanova's have rallied to your side. The close family unit that you are must be of great comfort to you and the girls. The closeness of each sibling, is one to be admired. I only wish my family will be as strong as yours when my time approaches. I admire the unity and togetherness that your family has. As we each walk that long journy to meet our Maker I know the Rosanova's go with no fear.
With Great Sadness and tears I write this message.
Love to all of the Rosanova's

My Dearest Mary and Beautiful Girls,
I was SHOCKED to hear of the news of Alberts passing! What you must have endured, (and I know alone)this past year is unthinkable. We all go to our Maker but Albert was lucky to have his wonderful family at his side. I would like to speak to you ,if you will be so kind to call me . I called your office several times with my numbers. I will call until I reach you. Love to you and the Girls .

Dear Maryann and Mark,
I am saddened to be informed of your brothers death. He was a gentle man. I am sure your family was a source of love , joy, and comfort to Albert. To have siblings such as your family is a comfort when one is facing this fruitless struggle at the time we pass.
You were always a wonderful close family who cared for each other. This you can go to meet our maker with.
Love

very painful, yet so beautiful ... Altho I never physically met wife and daughters until today, Albert talked about them so much I almost felt like part of the family .. but that's how Al was - once you got to know him, he made you feel like family. I worked with him for 25 years, , so we got to kow each other soooooo well .. I miss him - I know we all do ... peaceAl
~ , you will be missed.
~ Donald Magers, Torrance, California July 10, 2010
To Al's family, my sincere condolences. I have not seen Al for 17 years, since I moved to Texas. Al was my closest friend. I spent many hours on telephones with Al. He was a very funny guy; we would keep each other in stitches. We were nearly the identical age. We had kind of our own language, since we spent so much time together. I regret that I never got back in touch with Al but I wanted to let you know what a good man he was. I really enjoyed being around him. I was single at the time, but he was a good family man. The only thing I can remember him talking about was his wife and kids. I am sure he will be missed.

Dear Mary and four beautiful little girls,
I am shock and deeply saddened by the news I just heard today on the passing of Al. I have always considered you as my family. I have been out of town for quite some time and was rendered paralysed upon the news. I will be contacting you and the girls shortly.
My love and devotion goes with you and those beautiful girls.

Rosanova family:
I was a classmate of Albert's at Fenwick High School and was pleased to see him at our recently held 50th reunion stag. I felt that Al was a portrait of courage when he visited with us. He is smack dab in the center of our reunion picture. I will make sure the family is sent a copy.

Dear Mary and Family,
I grew up in Oak Park around the corner from the Rosanova family on Euclid Ave. Al and I were classmates at St. Giles School. I have fond memories of Al and the Rosanova family. Over the years, Al and I met infrequently, usually by chance. He was a brilliant man and will be missed. Please accept my condolences. I'm only sorry I was unable to pay my respects at his wake and funeral as I only received information of his passing today, June 17th. I will keep you all in my prayers.

It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.

My deepest thoughts and prayers are with all of the Rosanova's. My last memory of Buvvy was with him at a party. I did not see him in such a long time. He looked good, was laughing and having a wonderful time. He told me that he wanted to be at more family affairs and how great it was to see his cousins and be together again. Now he is in God's loving arms and with the rest of his family. Someday, we will meet again. Until than Buvvy you are in my heart and prayers.

To the family of Dr Albert Rosanova Jr.,
I believe that these words of Saint Augustine sums up the life of our dear beloved doctor:
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like. Saint Augustine
Dear Doc,
May the angels lead you into Paradise. May the martyrs come to greet you on the way. May they lead you home to the holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem. May the choirs of angels come to welcome you. May they take you to the arm of Abraham, where Lazarus is poor no longer, and there may you find rest, rest eternal. Amen
Sleep well sweet prince.
With love,
Alberta

I truly enjoyed spending time with Buvvy last summer after too many years being absent. He was a loving cousin (great bear hugs) and I am very sad that he is forever gone from my life in this world as we know it, though his memory will live on and he will always remain in my heart and prayers.
