Aunt Rosie was one of a kind. All of us nieces and nephews absolutely loved her and looked so forward to go visit at her house. She kept everyone in stitches all the time. Her continuous laughter, her handkerchief around her neck and anklets rolled down. I can still hear her say " Marky... scratch my back dolly, cmon harder, don't stop dolly, just a little more" We all took our turn. Most of my memories are from younger years and how I miss those days. Croquet or Badminton or Jarts in the back yard, and food, Food, FOOD. A wonderful cook. I remember her taking us to the factory she worked during Christmas time and making sure we all got just the right present. (I got an army set) I love you my sweet aunt Rosie and I'm glad and happy that you are at rest. She knew her Lord and fully believed. You will be greatly missed till we see you again.

I feel so blessed to have known my Aunt Rosie. She had so much love in her heart for her family! Her smile, an "oh honey" and a big hug are some of my earliest memories; watching her do Grandma Cardarelli's hair in the kitchen; and of course Aunt Rosie never taking "no thank you" for an answer when I told her I was too full for seconds (or thirds, or fourths!). We'd stay for long weekends around Thanksgiving, and I can just picture us all gathered around the table laughing like crazy as she and Aunt Theresa poked fun and kept at each other the way they do. And so proud of us little ones, always taking the time out to tell us so. More recently, she sent me and my husband a wedding card with the sweetest note, even though you could tell it was difficult for her to write. I am so glad that she got to meet John and that we were able to say goodbye, and I wish I were able to come back up for the services. Please know that John and I are thinking of the family and sending our love. Aunt Rosie -- I'm trying not to be so sad that you are gone, it helps to know that Uncle Phil and Greg are already taking such good care of you. We love and miss you! xoxoxo --Nicole
My very favorite memories of Aunt Rosie go back to my childhood. Times of playful days, wonderful family games, lots of laughter, and yummy food is what I got to share with my Aunt Rosie. Aunt Rosie's infectious laughter could always be heard throughout the house. Looking back, some of our favorite days were spent lazily sitting at a table on her garage porch - that's where I learned to hang a spoon from my nose! And, as a child, when Aunt Rosie invited us to spend the night, she'd make sure we were warmly and comfortably tucked in bed in her upstairs bedroom, where I would secretly marvel at her crocheted clad dolls, and beautiful figurines. I always knew I would feel l loved by my Aunt Rosie. I could always count on long warm hugs and an authentic excitement when we would walk through her door. My Aunt Rosie loved her family and her faith, and I will always be thankful for the love & joy she shared with me and my family. You will be greatly missed! Laura
