My loving family, It is such an honor to be a part of ALL of you, somehow together on this journey throughout the years, sharing love, unity, sorrows, joys but always celebrating. Now, too, we celebrate Rosie, our staunch, great loving matriarch for the ages. What a pillar of strength, patience and virtue she has been for us. Such a blessing to Vic, as his spouse for life. I am grieved that I cannot be there with all of you to share and console you in your grief. I will always remember Rosie's cheerful countenance and healthy appetite at Vic's Basement Christmas Party, laughing, talking, observing--sharing with all the guests. I will be donating to her hospice but think of me and my spirit there and see three dozen long-stem white roses bedecked with a ribbon of an indescribable heavenly aura in a glow that Rose would adore. Our Rose has no worries, she has joined Vic and Aunt Mary and now resides with Jesus. I love all of you and keep you in my prayers. I hope these inadequate words will be of some consolation. My blood is also Silva, Rachel Isabelle Jacobs Your loving Aunt

Rose'e'Baby, Going to miss you, but I will always cherish the talks, good bad or sad, the countless meals and many parties. Like so many of us, I pray the good lord opens his arms and welcomes you to a new life with no pain and happiness as your reunited with those who you have dearly loved and have passed on before you. Give my best to Gram and Victor, until we meet again,. All my love, John M
