My oh my! I remember the first mass you went with me after my Mom passed and you have been my rock for the past 5 years! We had so much fun together these past years and I will most definitely cherish each and every one of those memories! I love and miss you so much, Aunt Rosie but I take comfort knowing that you are up with my Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Jane, Uncle Johnny, Aunt Nanci, and Uncle Larry.
