Gino/Louise-Rick and Bob Giorgetti and family sending you thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. My memories of Rose at the Ghiorzi family home "parties" were that of a fun and funny lady.
I know my mother, Toby, enjoyed being around her at those functions. Now they are sharing a glass of wine and stories again!
