Her son Chris was the love in her life and gave her the will, courage and determination to keep fighting her battle with cancer.  Rosalie loved to cook and bake for her family and friends.  She was always happy to help family and friends when they needed her and was always able to find the positive in any situation.

Her friends Gracie and Donald Collado, Suzanne and Barney Manicchia, Antoinette Caproice, Olga and Edwardo Cruz, Tony Saladino and Rosalie Gratz were her guiding angels throughout her life.  She could not have made it without them and their support.  Rosalie made many friends throughout her life, too numerous to count.

Rosalie was loved and will be missed by all.
