"Dearest Rose, I have many beautiful and fun memories of you. How you took me under your wing when I was just a kid 16 years old and showed me so much love, treated me as part of the family. I remember all of the talks we had and great advice you gave me specially the "boyfriend" kind! You always spoke to me with a mom's heart. "Elisa ALWAYS be yourself" you told me this over and over and over every chance you had! "Don't ever let any boy change who your are" I can still hear you saying it now that I am a fifty year old grown woman. To Ralphie and Roe You had an exceptional mother! love you both. Rose you will be missed!"

"Aunt Rosie, God Bless you always. I'll cherish the times when my brother Joey and I were kids in downtown Jersey City and shared so many fun family memories with all our Aunt's, Uncles and cousins. Seems like it was just yesterday! Rest in Peace, Aunt Rosie - you will always be in our hearts. To my cousins, stay strong and remember what a blessing it was to have such a great Mom who loved you very much! "

"Aunt Rose, you always greeted me with a big smile and a hug, then pinched my cheek and called me little Joey. I will always hold a special place in my heart for you. i will miss you, but knowing you will be with Uncle Ray, you will be at peace. God Bless You. "

"Dearest Nana Rose A truly kind and wonderful Lady. Remembering happy times of you together with your beloved husband Ray, and your lovely family, who my thoughts are with at this sad time. RIP sweet lady, God bless, Gina and all the Family in Egland x"

"Dearest Mom, As far back as I can remember, you have always showered me with your love --- Unconditional love is what you gave to me, each and everyday. And with the memories of the love you gave, the faith and hope that you instilled will always be embedded deep within in my heart. Nearly seven decades have passed since those early childhood days. But the very first prayers you whispered in my ear will forever echo in my mind: [ "My Mother, my Queen and my Mary, I implore my cares to Thee..." ] [ "Lovely Lady dressed in blue --- Teach me how to pray..." ] While dad was gone during the war, your night-time prayers and stories always brought tears to my eyes. But you always did the best you could with everything that you had. And I could not have asked for a stronger, more capable loving mom or a better dad. I am a very lucky man today because... When I was sad you gave me faith and hope. When I wasn't sure you gave me faith, and when I was confused you taught me how to cope. When I felt I couldn't keep up, you carried me. And if ever I was sad, you restored my smiles and gave me hope. Mom, Thank you for your guidance and the faith you've always had in me and Rosemary -- For giving us a safe place where we have grown -- For showing us how to strive and keep our faith and trust in God. And because of your LOVE we will survive. I know you'll watch over us and be our guiding light; giving us the strength we need to carry on in life. You're now my guardian angel Mom, our "Mystical Rose," whispering your words of wisdom to use as we grow old. I will never say goodbye to you, because I couldn't bear the pain. Instead, I'll say I love you, Mom, until we meet again. God bless you, Rest in peace & Pray for us. PS: Please tell Dad that I miss and love him more that he ever imagined. "

"I wiil always remember my beautiful Godmother and how she made me feel loved as a child. Rest in peace Aunt Rose, I love you."

She is now together again with all those who have gone before her. I'm sure Uncle Ray is glad to be reunited with her. "

"Rose, you are one of a kind! I have so many memories sitting in Ro's kitchen over coffee laughing sometimes till we cried, as you told your stories. I always looked forward to seeing you. You are one of the sweetest ladies I have had the pleasure of knowing. and so many lives were enriched because of you. Watch over your family as I know you will. It's not goodbye, just see you later.
