Tribute to My Mother In Law Rose
Rose was many things to many people. Daughter to Ralph and Rose, husband to Vinny, mother to Richard and Paul, mother in law to me, and grandmother to Nicholas, Danielle, and Steven. She was also an Aunt, Great Aunt, Cousin, and Friend to many of you.
Whether you called her Rose, Ro, Po, or Posie we all had our own special relationship with her.
She enjoyed traveling, cooking, the outdoors, and especially snowfalls in Colorado. It was quite fitting that she lived long enough for this year's first snow fall on Sunday. She loved all of these things but most importantly she loved her family. Of course we all know she was strong willed and wanted things a certain way but she was also loving and dedicated to her family. This all made her who she was and how we'd like to remember her. Rose suffered greatly these past 7 months. Her husband Vinny stayed by her side the entire time caring for all her needs. He was truly amazing with her. Rose would rather we remember her from happier times. So if you would all please take a moment and remember her, maybe from childhood, maybe from a Christmas Eve, or maybe from a New Years Eve in the Poconos, Whatever your memory, hold that dear as we hold Rose dear in our hearts. Take comfort in knowing she is now free of pain and in a better place with her parents by her side.
Rest in peace, we love you.
