Mom,
Now I know how you felt when Dad passed. You lived the rest of your days just counting them until you wete reunited. We read 3 years of letters you wrote him after his passing. I have been grieving for you, longing, wishing for a sign, a visit, a dream. It does happen at times but nothing compares to being your daughter for 53 years. I miss you Mom. I will see you soon. I remind Gi of your love for her daily. Ciao for now my Rosie Posie!

There is not a day that goes by since her transition into Eternal life! She was like a 2nd Mother to me. We did many things together..movies...Rod Stewart concert...but the most was the Casino...the happiest time that we shared was the Day her only Grandchild Gianna was born. The Joy that she reflected was unbelievable!!! During all of the years of my Ministry I actually never found a person so ready and willing to leave this life and to be reunited with her beloved "Ang". Reflecting upon one of the last conversations we had she told me "the kids...(Julie, Jackie, Jodi and Gianna) were now ok... I am dying and just was looking forward to being with Ang again". I believed her then...and I believe it now. Life has changed alot...but the memories will definitely last me a Lifetime. I miss you Rosie and still Love you like a Mom! Xo

I was so very lucky to have met this wonderful woman many years ago. I haven't spent time at their home being friends with Julie since HS... and she was always gracious. Luckily I was given the opportunity to see her again very recently and it was like "old times". Such an amazing and strong personality. It's no wonder where all of her daughters got that trait from. My condolences to the entire family. Godspeed, mom!

You were more than my mother. You were my best friend. I´ve been with you every day since dad passed and I am so grateful for that time together. I know he helped me come home to have this last year with you. I also know in my heart that you´re together now. I love you and I miss you so much.

I´m like wow. I´m in shock I did not expect this. Jodi has always been good to me and Julie seems cool. I as a mom and fellow taurean know it is because a TAURUS raised her. Sweet red haired jazzy little lady. Enjoy Paradise I am sure you will visit. Peace.

To my sweet neighbor and friend for many years, you always had a smile on your face and encouraging words when I needed them the most, and the best coffee too! I am so happy you are reunited with Angelo again, he loved you so very much. Until I see you in Heaven, I won´t forget how kind and generous you were. Love you always Ro!

This women was a 2nd Mother to me...she had class...Great words of wisdom...and advice that was worth accepting. Got me hooked on Lifetime movies and 90 Day Fiance (of which I never thought I would even stay tuned to such shows). Fly High Rosie...reunite with Ang...he has been waiting a long time for his "Ro". Thank You for all you did for me...I will miss you...this is not Good bye...it is I will see you later. You.
