Rose E. DiPaola

Sadly I have no pictures to share at the moment. They are all packed away since our move to Austin Texas. I do however have many, many memories of Rosie. Rosie was one of my mom's (Cathy Wacenske) closest friends. Every Wednesday my mother visited with Rosie at Rosie's house in Rochester. Rosie always had the table covered with delicious food/treats. Every Wednesday I would do my best to fake an illness knowing that if I succeeded I would be able to skip school and I would have to go to Rosie's house with my mom. Once there I could miraculously recoup and then be able to partake in all those goodies! I remember how talented she was when she would play her part as the devil in the church plays. She was so good at her part adding unscripted pieces of her funny Rosie personality! And Rosie always looks so pretty doing her part in a flattering red dress. I also remember her laying in the sun in her backyard when we would go over to her house. And she had a plum tree in her backyard which yielded some delicious plums. Such a sweet lady. I'm sure she will be missed dearly and deeply. My most sincere and heartfelt condolences to Jerry, John and Michael.
