My condolences to carmie and frank. Your mom was one of a kind. I loved living next door to her as she would walk over with her homemade bread and sopressata. She treated me and my children like one of her own. She will truly be missed.

Rosa was the sweetest, nicest lady I've ever met in my life. She taught me how to make tomatoes, olives, sopresatta and other recipes. She will never be forgotten. I love her so much.

We will always remember Aunt Rosa for being such a welcoming and caring person. She is sweet and kind. We will miss visiting her on Christmas, her wonderful italian cooking (Magnifico!), and hearing her talk "in the Italian way". We love you Auntie Rosie.
