It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we send you are deepest and heartfelt condolences for your loss.
During this difficult time, please know that our thoughts and prayer are with you all and Rosina.
Rosina was family to us. We met Rosina through are close and dearest friends, the Ferrara Family. She was the most, sweetest, kindest, loving person I knew. I will never forget her beautiful smile and personality, she was so welcoming and she felt like family instantly. I remember all the times we came up to visit, at the July 4 picnic, and my youngest son was 2 months. He was crying and she held him and comforted him immediately as though he was her own. She was an angel here on earth and now you all have an angel looking over you, including all of us. It was an honour and privilege to have met her. She will forever be in our hearts.
May her spirit give you the strength to carry on and to know that she touched so many people, she will always be with you in spirit.
Our deepest and sincere condolences to you all. May she rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Lily, Mike , Michael and Nicholas Messina
