Condolences to The Family Nigro. Rosa’s parents were very friendly with mine.

I have great memories of Rosa from Venerini, I believe we met in nursery or kindergarten. I have thought of her frequently through the years. RIP my Friend!

Lauren, Philip, Christopher and the extended Nigro family, truly sorry about your Mom's passing. Your Dad and I went to High School together and I was in their wedding party. Your Mom was a sweet, caring and kind person who always welcomed us wherever they lived. We lost touch but I remember your Mom was also very artistic.

You always will be in my heart.
Love, Vicki

Rosa and uncle Richard god parents for my youngest son Matthew.

Loved you dearly. Will miss you always.

We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

She was my youngest son's Matt godmother. I have enclosed a very nice picture of her and uncle Richard. We will see you bye and bye. Find some...
