To my cousins & Uncle Al,
The few weeks I spent at your house during the summers were stuff that precious memories are made of. Besides getting whacked with the croquet mallet a few times, it was great to be part of your family. Aunt Rose tucking me in at night, is a special memory, swimming at the lake, and eating green apples off someone's tree -- oh yeah, and no fences. Summer skies, lightening storms, basements, ice cream, hot muggy nights, mosquitoes, Uncle Al & beer with a funny bear on the label, and your Mom, in charge of it all. I wish I knew you all better, and hope that life has treated you well. You had a special Mom that made me feel special.
Love,
Cousin Teresa (Pachiano) Allen

Dear Raiola Family,
All of us are saddened to hear about Rose. The Robertson family have such wonderful memories of being at your home on Arlington Avenue and the extraordinary delicious Italian food Rose prepared. Rose was so kind to our mother when she was sick and we appreciated those kind gestures so much as she would call and visit our parents during those years. It is hard to say good bye to a spouse and parent at any age or time so please know our prayers and thoughts are with each of you in the days ahead. The Robertson Family, Syl, Kathleen Kennedy, Patricia and Steve Cimbura, John and Joanne Robertson, and Mary and Jim Byrnes.

Lou, family. I have nothing but saddness in my heart. Rose touched me in such a way that does not need explaining. I watched her touch everyone whom she came in contact with. I will now celebrate her beauty and authenticity. Heaven has become more gracious. Love and Prayers. Marty Aasen.
