To the Rossi family:
I am truly saddened to hear of your mom's passing. Pam was just talking about her this summer, how much fun they had at bingo the few times they bumped into one another. I have even older memories of how Tony and I would stop in, hungry from our journeys of "Bumming Around" - we would get a "talk", but we never left hungry! She was a Great lady, Hard working, and Honest. I will remember her always.

I love the picture you picked for the obituary, because this is exactly how I remember her, with a big happy smile on her face and so poud of her children and grandchildren. Sending love and prayers to all of you. Love Amy (Jeff, Amelia, and John)

Rita, Chris, Ashley & Family, So sorry for you loss. Your Mom was one in a million! I will always remember all the great food she has made us, when we worked together at Chase and over the many years since. I think of her everytime I try to recreate her dishes, but they never have the same magic as her's. She was a Great Lady and will live on in all of you. Sorry I can't make it to the Mass, but will be praying for all of you.
Love Denise & Boys

To the entire Rossi family,
Words cannot express my thanks for the beautiful woman you shared with me and many others. So many great childhood memories I have because of Grandma Rossi. Mangia being the first thing I heard every time I walked in the door followed by can you take me to bingo. No one left her home hungry... ever. My heart hurts at the moment but is so full because of the wonderful woman she was to me and my family. As sweet and caring as she was it was her spitfire attitude I absolutely loved the most. I pray for healing of your hearts and thank God for the lasting wonderful memories she left us all with.
Love you all
