Her passion was her family and cooking. She taught us all the importance of family and love. Nothing made her happier than to have her family around her enjoying her homemade vegetable soup, noodles and cheesecake. No one ever needed to worry about going hungry with Grandma Rose. We can all still hear her telling us you better get something to eat or Eat Eat! Grandma loved and was loved by many. She was an amazing woman who welcomed everyone with love and care. She had a tremendous impact on every persons life she touched. She was a beautiful person with a feisty attitude and loving affection for everyone. She will be deeply missed by many!
