Rose, dear friend and neighbor (Block Street ). You were always an inspiration and confidant with wisdom, compassion and a warm smile. You earned your wings and now can rest in peace. So blessed to have had you as a friend. Will miss you until we meet again. Love, June Marsowicz

Rosie, You were the strongest person I have ever know. No matter all that you were going through you always stayed positive, you were a kind, loving, caring person.
I am so glad that we got to meet and became friend's. You showed your strength to all of us and never dwelled on your illness, you always asked how the other person.
God needed a special angel so He picked you.
Please look after all of us at Cayuga Village Seniors. You will never be forgotten and always loved and missed.
I am honored to have you as a friend.
RIP Rosie and I will see you down the road.
Love your friend,
Pat Krawczyk from Cayuga Village Seniors
