Rose was very upfront and sociable. She was the first resident i spoke to when i started working at careone. she reminded me of my mom often because she was italian like her..rose always was looking out for her friend tessie and put others before her all of the time. it was really nice working around people like rose. i am upset about her passing.
with love,

Rose,
I called you Rose or Rosie Begonia but your were really my other Mom to me. I miss you so much. You were the most compasionate, loving person I have ever met. I loved seeing you at the nursing home & hearing you say " Hey! that's my son in-law" Then seeing that beautiful smile on your face. That put such joy in my heart.You where always there for me & Carol when we were in need. I will never forget taking you to the Chinese buffet & peeling the king crab legs & shrimp for you. I know how much you loved Chinese food just like me & will never forget how you laughed after me telling you I had chinese food for dinner. I know your are with the Lord Jesus now. Full of Joy, no more pain or sorrow.We spent so much time talking & praying about Him & His promise after we leave these earthly bodies & what He has waiting for those who love Him, I can't wait to see you again Mom. I love you so much.............Your Son In-law John
Mother , I can't believe it's a month today since you left us. When you died a piece of me went with you. There is nothing anyone could say bad about you, you didn't have a bad bone in your body. You never said anything negative about anyone. You would always find something good about them no matter what. I know I was your first born and that was special to you as it was to me.. no matter what I did, you always looked out for me and I will always love you for that.. I will miss the Fridays at the nursing home with you when we used to sing all the songs together ..I hope your in peace now because the last few months were torture for you and everyone. I pray that you and daddy are together again because I know how much you missed him . Rest in peace mommy, I love you with all my heart. Till we meet again mother, my Dolly .... YOUR SON JOSEPH...
Mom, from the first time we met I knew you were a special person, sincere, sweet and caring. I'm sure you thought your son Joey was crazy when he told you we were getting married. I came as they say a "package deal" with three children of my own, but you never said a word, you stood behind us and embraced me along with my children and truly loved us unconditionally thru all the years. The memories are wonderful and will stay with me always. It has been an honor and a privilege to have had you in my life. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. I love and miss you very much.
FOR TEN BLESSED YEARS I HAD YOU. WE BECOME CLOSER THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE. THE UPS THE DOWNS ALL APART OF THE WONDERFUL JOURNEY WE SHARED. GOD GAVE YOU TO ME TO SHOW ME WHAT MOTHERS WERE ALL ABOUT. YOU SHOWED ME LOVE, PATIENCE, CARING, UNDERTANDING AND ABOVE ALL KINDNESS TO PEOPLE ALL OVER. MY HEART WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. I MISS YOU EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY. I THANK GOD FOR THE YEARS . HE HAS YOU NOW HOW LUCKY IS HE.. YOU ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT WHEN YOU DIE HOW MUCH YOU WERE GOING TO MISS ME, AND MY ANSWER TO YOU WAS I WILL BE THE ONE MISSING YOU. SO YOU SEE HERE I AM TYPING AND CRYING BECAUSE WHAT I SAID WAS TRUE. I MISS YOU TILL I DIE.TILL WE SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN. REST IN PEACE MOMMY. FOREVER IN MY HEART.
YOUR LOVING DAUGHTER
Mom i never new a person like u who was so good hearted and caring for other people. When you lived in brookllyn i was your mailman for eight years and everyday i would come in and you always had a sandwich waitng for me and if i didnt show up you would get mad because i didnt stop in. On the wall in your home you had a plaque that said rosies kitchen. It certainly was, everytime i would come in there was always somebody there, either friends or relatives. which says to me how many peopled loved you and enjoyed your company Your door was always opened.The card games we had and the holidays we spent together will be truely missed there was no better cook than you mom you are my angel.You may be gone ,but you will be in my heart forever.I love you mom ,rest in peace.
