  1. Phil & Family, I’m very sorry for your loss, I’ll miss saying Hi to you mom. God Bless! Bill Campbell

  2. Aunt Rose, today as I join the family in prayer in your honor and in memory of you, my heart is deeply saddened. What wonderful times we had together and what wonderful weekly talks we shared. I can not begin to express the heart’s emptiness knowing those will be no longer. As I told you, no one could have asked for a better “Mother” after my Mother passed. You will be sorely missed, but your memory and love will be with me forever in my heart and soul. My sadness is shared with your loving family. May God grant your loved ones peace of heart and soul. My Angel, watch over us!

  3. To All of Grandma Rose’s family, both relatives and those who know her,
    We have been blessed by the love of the entire family of Rose Baccarella. To me, that means, she did a wonderful job here on this earth. Many holidays were special for my family and I have received blessings and love from all in our times of need. I know that Grandma Rose kept us in her prayers and I will keep you all in mine at this time. Love Jeannie McGuire

  4. I’m so sorry to hear of Rose’s death. Please accept the condolences and prayers of my family and me for all of you.

  5. “In Life with a Rose”. What a wonderful gift God gave me to prepare a Beautiful Rose to return to God’s garden. Rose you left me a heart full of memories and wonderful brothers and sisters to take of.

  6. Praying for your family as you prepare to celebrate your mother’s life. May the good memories sustain you!

  7. I will always remember all the happy times I had while visiting Aunt Rose and Uncle Pete. Her big hugs and even bigger dinners will be some of my favorite Colorado memories. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. All my love. XOXO.

  8. Rose was a wonderful Sister and Friend. I cann’t begin to say all the wonderful things about her. All the laughs and tear we shared. I will always remember how loving and giving she was and how she always had my favorite cookies for me to take home. Sis I will really miss you. Love You Clara

  9. Some of my best Colorado memories were made at Aunt Rose’s house. I enjoyed endless amounts of love (and food!) when visiting her. What I will remember most was her gentle heart and the sparkle in her eyes when she smiled. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. She will be missed.
