Rosa was a special person who will be greatly missed. She was my first cousin but was more like a confidant, mentor, and friend as I grew up. She also was a great help to my mother and father in teaching them the customs of the American culture when we moved to the USA. It is with great sadness to say goodbye to Rosa but we can be comforted knowing that she and her beloved husband, Neil are together again. Rest in Love and Peace, Rosa.

Rosa and Neil at one of their favorite Italian restaurants. 

Rosa and I had fifty s six years of memories. We graduated high school together, and roomed together  in college. Richie and I introduced Rose to Neil. It was love at first sight. The four of us continued our friendship and grew old together. We traveled together enjoying every cruise. Even though we moved to Va and we were miles apart we still were as close as ever. About six weeks ago Rose came to visit. We laughed and cried together reminiscing about all our years together. Rose will spend the remainder of time with the love of her life Neil.they will both live on in our hearts forever. Rest in Peace our dearest friends.
