Hi sweet Lil Nonie - It´s hard to believe it´s been 15 years ago since I have talked to you and kissed you goodnight for what ended up being the last time. You were such a beautiful woman inside and out who took the best care of her children and grandchildren. You were dearly missed at your first great grandchild Nicks wedding on 08-17-24. Your son Pasquale officiated the wedding and did a fantastic job. I know you were there along with your Pat
And my Mom Bobbie beaming with pride as you listened to the ceremony. I love and miss you everyday. Life has not been the same without you here but happy you are in Heaven and not living in this crazy world with us. Ti Amo, xoxo

We love you, Aunt Rose. Your beautiful smile and sincere warmth always made us feel so loved, so welcome. We considered it a blessing to be in your presence and to listen to the stories you loved to tell about you and Uncle Pat, and Cousins John and Grace.

And, oh, how I loved to watch you dance because you loved to dance! It was just terrific to see your face light up like a light bulb and watch your feet start moving. Watching you dance is one of the great joys of my childhood, Aunt Rose.

We both have a great big empty place inside because you aren't here with us any more, but we know that you are in the presence of our Lord Jesus and that we will see you again one day so we cannot be overwhelmed with grief. We love you.

Our hearts to yours,
David & Giovanna Caponiti Schmidt

Dear Bobbi, Pat, & GiGi,

Comare Rose was very special to me. She was mom and pop's best friend, and we always had such a good time when we all got together-lots of laughter and fond memories.
Unfortunately, the timing of the services came when we had a full house at the Anchor Inn and neither Carol nor I could get away. We regret that we were not there to give our love and support. You are in our prayers.

Love,

Robert & Carol

Dear Bobbi, Pat and GiGi,

I will always remember Aunt Rose for her love and support throughout my life in the happy times and sad ones as well -- celebrating birthdays, graduations, our wedding, our children and grandchildren.

She was so kind to my mother throughout her decline. I got my idea of bringing sweets and coffee to Somerford from what she did for my Mom. She was a wonderful role model.

We will miss her and remember her with love.

Love,

Marie and Glenn

Bobbi, Pat and GiGi,

I will greatly miss Aunt Rose's phone calls and all The I Love You's, but I know she is at peace now and has joined Uncle Pat and the rest of the family in heaven. I'm pretty sure they are all enjoying the good Italian meals together with the home made pasta, my Father's meatballs and of course my Mother's delicious chocolate chip cookies.

Aunt Rose was always so nice to me and I will cherish the memories of her always.

Love,
Nancy Jo

So sorry for the loss of your dear Mother,Rose.

My Mother's name was Rose as well. She was one of the most amazing people I have ever known and not a day goes by that I don't think of her with a smile on my face.

I hope that for you and your loved ones that the memories of your wonderful Mother can help to sustain you at your time of grief and in the future.

The Arnone family,
Well the original fab four, Rose, Pat, Chick and Effie are reunited. I have way too many memories to even begin so I will just thank you all for allowing me to be a part of your wondeful family for most of my life. Gigi, they really don't last forever as you told me. We were blessed to have them as long as we did. They were all truly amazing people and made us the people we are today. With my prayers and lots of love, Joanne

To the Arnone family,

Please know our thoughts are with you and our prayers are with your Mom now. Hopefully she , Chick, Effie and your Dad are all sitting in lawn chairs looking down on us drinking their iced coffee and wondering who's kid is up to what! Only this time they will know before we do....what goes around comes around!

All our love the Kalcounoii (All of us)

Ms. Rose was a wonderful person who brightened my day whenever I saw her. She had a great heart and a great spirit and I will miss her. I will also miss seeing her wonderful family. The Arnone family helped me remember why I got into the caring business.

She will be greatly missed! When I think of Rose, I automatically think of my own mother, who was one of Rose's closest friends. I will never forget her Monte Carlo and how she never liked to drive at night. Rose, you are now in a better place. If you see my mother and father in heaven, give them a kiss for me! Love and kisses. Christina Caruso

Mom, You are at peace now and your dream finally came true after 26 years 'Lord, I'm ready when you are'. You are now with the only man of your dreams, dad. I am just so thankful that you remember who I was till the end of your life. I cannot imagine what I would have done, if you didn't know me. I guess God knew it was time to take you to Haven, before that happened. Give all the family up in heaven a kiss from me. It is very hard for me to think about life without you since for the past 61 years you have always been the biggest part of my life. I will love you forever and ever. Love GiGi

Momma, You and Daddy gave Me life so many years ago, I thank You 'cause I wouldn't have known such a warm, loving and wonderful Momma. Daddy left Me too soon and thank You for staying for 94 years. The Lord has taken You with Him and I will miss You so much. Thank You for being there thru my life. Your strength showed Me the way to move on. My life will not be the same without your smile, your touch, your wisdom. Jesus will give Me the strength to go on for my own family. I love You, I miss You.

Your loving daughter, Bobbi

Nonie,

As your grandaughter, my heart aches, and the thought of life without you here on earth is unbearable. As a Christian, I am rejoicing. Death is the gateway into the promise of eternal life as we shed our earthly bodies to enter into the presence of God (1 Corinthians 15:50-53).
Thank you Nonie for always being there for me - Thank you GOD for letting us hold on to her for as long as we did and not allowing her to suffer. I love you so very much Nonie!
