My Aunt Rosa was a wonderful lady. Always sweet. Funny. Sometimes you never knew what was going to come out of her mouth! Lol. She was tough to the max and I seriously think she coulda taken on some ppl in fights. Lol. She was so full of life. I loved her so much and miss her already. I know she's resting in Heaven and enjoying time with all her loved ones that have already passed. Love and miss you Aunt Rosa.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to our cousins; Richard, Joe, and Linda. Aunt Rosie was one of a kind and she left us with many special memories. She made us laugh and I was always grateful never to be on the receiving end of that famous Vara temper. Forever in our hearts, you will be missed by all of us who loved you.
