Barb, Joe, Michael (Megan) and Daniel,

We were so saddened to hear about Nona's passing. She looked very happy and healthy a few weeks ago. It is hard fathom how quickly her health declined. Perhaps she just wanted to see Michael and Megan united and partake in seeing her whole family together one final time. I am glad we had the opportunity to sit and chat with her then. She was a lovely and kind soul and I know she will be dearly missed by the family.

I met Rose and the Catalano family over 40 years ago. I always received a phone call at Christmas from her. My late wife Marilyn and I loved her dearly. It was a very happy time in our lives having the Catalano's as neighbors. Rose was so kind and generous, sharing many wonderful times with us. I will miss her and remember her always as she was a big part of our lives. Thank you Rose...for all the great memories that will last forever.
Love,
Grant (and Marilyn)

Vince and Rose were wonderful neighbors and friends!! They always had a friendly face and the pizza was spectacular 💕💕. Rose loved showing pictures of her grand children and their trip to Italy.

Rest in peace Rose 💋💋
