My aunt Rosie was the most positive role model anyone could imagine. As long as I can remember, any time you asked "how are you Auntie?" she always said fine...no matter what. I loved that about her and have always tried to emulate her myself. I will treasure my memories of my wonderful auntie. Rosanne and Matt, my heart is with you...Cousin Gayle

"Mama Quinn" was the mom I always wanted but never had. She loved me and always had a sweet word and a hug for me. I can't remember any part of my childhood that does not include her presence. As an adult I lost contact with her, but the love and light she gave me are with me to this day. Roseanne I am so very sorry for your loss but am glad to know your mom is no longer suffering. with much love and many happy memories.

It was always a special treat when Roseanne took me to see Rose on my visits to California. For me, thoughts of Rose evoke her humor and sweetness, for which I know she will be missed. I send my sincerest condolences for your loss.
