Rose Zappala

Al & Maria, I am so sorry. Prayers for your entire family.

Rose was a wonderful person and a wonderful friend. We both loved `Pee Wee´s Playhouse´ (the kids version). There were some things I could say to her that I couldn´t say to most others. And she had a great laugh. She was just fun to be around. Lately, we mostly kept in touch by sending funny memes to each other - mostly jokes about being introverts. In high school we exchanged tons of notes during the school day. She often signed them `Ta Ta For Now, Rose´. So, Rose: "Ta Ta, For Now..."

Missy - I am so so very sorry for the loss of Rose - may your happy memories with her bring you peace - you are all in my prayers

Years would pass, but I knew four things about Rose that would always be there: Rose made me feel safe when I was overwhelmed by people. Her laugh was infectious. She was generous to a fault. And her hair always looked great. Prayers and love to family and friends.

I was blessed to meet Rose in high school. We shared a love for Elvis. I loved living vicariously through her when she would visit Graceland. When I think of Rose, it's her beautiful smile especially the smile in her eyes. Just one look at her sweet smile and you just felt better. My deepest condolences to her family. Rose is one of a kind! She will be missed. May your cherished memories bring you comfort.

Mike and family, so sorry to her of Rose's passing.

Rose and I go all the way back to our school days at Blessed Sacrament. Rose was the best listener and she always laughed at my jokes. She definitely understood my sense of humor! I would see Rose a few times a year, and we just picked up where we left off since the last time we saw each other. Rest in peace Rose, I am already missing you.
