Rose M. Tomei

All I can say right now is that I really miss you. You were my oldest Best Friend and now you are gone.
Every day I think about you and I keep a candle lit next to your urn. When I see the flame flicker, I know you are thinking about me too.

I didn't know Rose but I wanted to let you know it was a beautiful tribute to her...I feel like I know her now.
I am sorry for your loss but she left you all with beautiful memories.

Mom

July 18th was your birthday and I thought about you all day. I just wish I could have been there for you more and I always feel like I didnt do enough for you. Guess thats the old Italian guilt kicking
in. I opened the urns to check for the ashes to make sure they were there and I felt really funny about that. I will be sending Ronnie one of them. Of all of us I think Ronnie has taken this the hardest so I think you better watch over him the most. Me, I'm ok, I just miss seeing...

Well mom the days are passing and each day is just as hard without you and Freddie and Michael. I just work and now anymore I just wander around Lake Bluff and Waukegan stopping and visiting relatives and going to old places we used to visit. I knew this day would come but I never knew it would be so hard. I am just glad we could give you a nice sendoff I am happy you made page 5 in the Sun Times and now your story is all over the internet.......even the Italian press posted your story. I...

Grandma,
Mento and I will miss bringing you hot peppers and homemade salsa and see you turn red while eating it!! I don't know how you could stand it so hot. I will also miss hearing you swear in Italian! Every time I see Roamans or Lane Bryant (or any other clothing catalogs)I think of you.
Don't give grandpa a hard time up there, he's been waiting a long time for you! Tell my dad and Michael we love them.

I love you and miss you

What a beautiful and loving tribute to Mrs. Tomei. I didn't know her personally, but it is obvious she left a wonderful legacy.

Grandma, I know you are with Papa, Michael and many more now. I will always love you and miss you. I miss coming over to visit you and talking with you. You would always make Jason and I something for dinner and teach Jason a new swear word in Italian. He always got a kick out of that. We miss you and love you dearly. Love always,

Rose was part of the Adams Family that lived next door to our family in Rondout.May she rest in peace.
