Guestbook

  1. Tony, Darlene and alll family I offer my sincere condolence and sympathy to you all as you deal with the loss of your Mother. I didn’t know her, but working with Tony for many years at CSUP, I gained a wonderful friend, which speaks volumes for how you were raised. My thoughts and prayers are with you and family as you grieve your loss. God bless and help you all to be strong through this hard time. Take care, my friend!

  2. I send my sincere condolences, sympathy, and love to all but mostly to Anthony, Darlene, their children, and grand children over the loss of Anthony’s beautiful “mama”. I did not know Rosalie that well but knew she was loved very much by her family, friends and all. Anthony and Darlene took such good care of her always making sure she had everything at home she needed and then when she was unable to live at home they were with her everyday until she went to her HEAVENLY HOME. She was beautiful.

  3. Oh Rosalie. What a kind, fun, lady. So many wonderful memories growing up on Kennedy Street, and working together at Kress back in the day. We even have memories going back to Goat Hill. Rest in peace, lovely. You’ll never be forgotten.

  4. We called her “Mrs. Re’s mom” growing up. She was a sweet and kind neighbor when were kids, and again when I moved into the house two doors from her in 1993. She always looked beautiful and always had a smile. May she RIP. My condolences, Tanya Watts Musso

  5. I have wonderful memories of Rosie. We worked together at Kress in 1968. After that our paths crossed regularly. While I was an employee of the Housing Authority her mom was a resident of the Ogden Apartment. I saw Rosie when she would come in to pay her Mom’s rent or do other business. She was always one of my special work friends. May she rest in peace.
