Rose,
We are so blessed to have known Nonna! She was a special persn to Maddie and the rest of us. I will always remember her teaching Meghan Italian at dinner after the Memorial/Weaver game. The best part was when the girls made up a happy birthday cheer for Nonna (87th) and performed it in the middle of the restaraunt. It brought tears to her eyes. She was so special! She made sugar free cookies especially for Maddie! We will always remember and celebrate these memories!

My heart aches for everyone. From the day Jo invited me home from high school(to eat fresh bread,) to our last visit this past summer, Rose always made me feel apart of the family. I loved just sitting and talking to her. I loved her opinions, her stories about the family and life. I love her. She has been and will continue to be an inspiration to me as I teach my daughter about family and life. She will always be with us.
