So sorry to hear about Rose's passing. I feel very privileged to have worked with Rose at my family's bakery. She was a very loyal and hard working employee. We had many happy moments and conversations together and it was always very apparent that she deeply loved her son and family. My sister Aurelia and I worked closely with Rose and she was always the highlight during our working hours. The Mastroianni Bakery was very fortunate to have a wonderful employee like Rose. My sincere condolences to her son and family.
