Auntie,

I have many loving memories of times we spent together that I will hold forever close to my heart. I'll cherish memories of Church masses we attended together, shopping, lunch dates, phone conversations, we attempting to do repairs on your house together and your daily updates of the current fashions and celebrity news. We shared many laughs and tears together. One of my favorite memories is when you put pennies in your pocket when we went to the doctor because you didn't want him to know you lost some weight!

When I picture your house I see the palms in the door, pink Christmas tree in the window, lucky quarter on the windowsill, beautiful roses in the yard (you counted them daily), and the statue of the blessed Mother Mary in your yard that has your lipstick color on top of her from your daily kisses and prayers for the faithfully departed souls.

John, Paul, Laura and Tom were blessed to have you in their lives. Each Christmas Eve Laura looked forward to going to your house and listening to you play "Silent Night" for her on the organ. Her and I will forever cherish that beautiful sound. You took care of so many others throughout your life. My mom and you were best friends and would talk on the phone for hours. I remember when Uncle Emmette left to have his license renewed and when he returned he couldn't believe you were still on the phone with his sister! You brought so much laughter, comfort and joy to my family throughout the years.

For the past year you have said you pray every night that the Lord will take you. You were ready. The angels in Heaven have guided you home (my mom, sister, Uncle Emmette, Sam, your parents and brothers, and many other friends and family).

I always said you were an angel walking on Earth. Now you're an angel resting in the arms of the Lord. I miss you already. You'll always be my buddy. May your soul and the souls of the faithfully departed that you joined in Heaven rest in peace.

I will end the way each of our conversations ended:
"God Bless You. Love You More"

I feel blessed to have known Aunt Rosemary and for the time I was able to spend with her. She is truly one of the best people I have ever known and I will never forget her. I know that a lot of the positives I have in my life is because of her always praying and writing my name in the prayer book! Love you and miss you Aunt Rosemary!

Auntie,

I have so many wonderful, loving memories of you that I will forever cherish. When I think of your house I will picture it with the palms in the door, your pink Christmas tree in the window and your lucky quarter on the windowsill.

I'll miss our shopping days, lunch dates, phone conversations, masses and many laughs we shared. You always kept me up to date on the latest fashions and current news.

You had so many friends and prayed for all of them. John, Paul, Laura and Tom were blessed to have you in their lives. Laura looked forward to each Christmas Eve at your house with you playing "Silent Night" on the organ for her.

I told you I truly believed you were an angel walking on Earth. Now you're an angel resting in the arms of the Lord. My mom, Karen, Uncle Emmette, your parents, brothers, son and many others have guided you home to heaven. You'll always be my buddy. Thanks for touching my life in such a wonderful way. I miss you already.

Rest in Peace Auntie!
Love you more,
Carol

Aunt Rosemary was a remarkable woman and I feel truly blessed to have known her. She filled so many of our family celebrations with joy and laughter that it will never be the same without her, "my right hand to God".

She was the only one to always call me on my birthday and sing to me on our answering machine; always reminding us that it was her calling as if we couldn't recognize that voice! She knew all the latest celebrity gossip and could talk to you about everything from the jitterbug to jeggings!

I cherish the shopping trips we took together and I'll never find a better dinner date than Auntie. She prided herself on always looking nice and knowing the latest trends in fashion. She would always say "You're in, honey!"

My Aunt Rosemary said the rosary at least three times a day. If she couldn't make it to church she had a mass recorded on VHS that she would watch daily. I can't count the number of times she lit candles, said the rosary, prayed for or wrote people's names in her church's prayer book. If there ever was a person who earned a first class ticket to heaven it was her. Now I can say you're in Auntie, you're in! xoxoxo

Grammiepiepie,

I will miss you so much, but now you are with your boy, Sammy. No words can express my loss or explain how much I will miss you. I have so many memories of Sunday dinners, the Convenient Store, Emmett, and
Mousse I & II. Take care of my Papi, Emmett, and Charlie! I will continue to make gravy and meatballs just the way you taught me.

I will always love you,
Your Jesstine

“When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.”

Rosemarie was a beautiful person (a true ZsaZsa to say the least), inside and out, and she will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

All My Love,

May God bless all of Aunt Rosemarie's family. I pray that you all will be filled with wonderful memories of a lady so sweet as Aunt Rosemarie. She is at rest now, with all those who have gone before her. How comforting to think that she will celebrate Christmas with the King this year. All of my love, thoughts and prayers....Heather (Fischer) Salatino xoxoxo to you Auntie!
