Details for Arizona will be provided as soon as dates have been confirmed; please feel free to contact the family for further information. Manuel's passing followed Rosie's passing by a little over three years. We will miss you both Dad/Tata and Mom/Nana - you will be with us always - in our thoughts, memories and hearts forever!
