Rose's passing marks the loss of a truly unique character. She was a lover of life, a daring adventuress and the ultimate friend. Whether she was lending a helping hand, an attentive ear or offering comfort through kind words or her unsurpassed cooking, Rose loved unconditionally.

What will I remember most about Rose? Her warm smile, her big heart and her fabulous Italian cooking.

What will I miss most about Rose? Her unintentionally hilarious peccadilloes. After all, who else but Rose could ask a car rental agent to show her which pedal was the gas and which was the brake with a straight face?

Rose has touched all of us fortunate enough to have called her friend. Though she will be missed, Rose will live on in our hearts and fond memories.

Memorial services will be announced.
