Rosa was my first best friend as she was my little sister. In the picture I share, she and I were in our Yellowstone National Park sweatshirts when I was 5 and she was about 3 1/2. Rosa was 1 year 11 months younger than me. In 1971, we shared the heartache of losing our mother as children.  I remember while our mother was in the hospital, she would make artwork for her to enjoy in her hospital room as children were not allowed to visit for our health and the health of the patient. Those were the rules back then. There wasn't closure for us in our loss and I  believe our mother's loss affected Rosa throughout her life. 

Rosa was preceded in death by our mother, Ofelia D. Vera (1938 - 1971) and our father, Mauro Vera, Jr. (1938 - 2014). 

Although Rosa and I parted ways several years ago, she reached out to me to repair our relationship after she was in ICU this past April, 2019. I am grateful that I was allowed to have some time together before she went to heaven even though it was in a hospital room and later a hospice room. 

Things I will always remember about my sister Rosa is that she was a devoted, loving dog mom and a faithful SCE employee.  She always had impeccable taste in clothing and decor.  Her beautiful hands reminded me of our mother's hands and she had the most beautiful handwriting.  She was well read, creative, artistic, so funny, and caring.  

She is now in heaven feeling fully loved and fully known by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ than she ever was here on earth.  I am grateful that I will see her once again when the Lord calls me home.  See you at that time, sis!



Rosa and I became friends over the Love we had for dogs. We would always talk about our own dogs with each other. That was a topic we both enjoyed sharing. Rosa and I could talk on the phone for several hours just laughing. I loved having Rosa as my sweet friend. I will truly miss her and our talks. I was so glad I was able to tell her I loved her before she passed to heaven. Take care of my dogs in heaven for me Rosa until I come to help. Love you my friend, Leanie!

This cute photo of Rosa was taken in June 2015 when a small group of us met for dinner. We loved her purse so she allowed us to take a photo of it with her holding it. 😊

Dearest Rosa, 
You were such a smart, sweet, wicked funny, and witty friend while we worked together from 1999 to 2006. I loved sharing stories of our doggies, music, current events, pop culture and work issues with you.  When I moved on to another office and position in mid 2006, I always enjoyed catching up with you via phone, email, direct message, or in person outside of work. Your gentle and sometimes snarky spirit coupled with your intelligence always made for a fun gathering. It was comforting to witness that spirit still evident even through your health struggles. You and that spirit will be sorely missed by many. I’m glad I was able to see you, hug you, chat with you and say I love you one last time before you left this earth for Heaven.  I’m happy you are now with your dad and all those fur babies you held so dear to your heart. Rest in painless Peace, My Friend❣️

To my dearest sister, Rosa:  Happy first birthday in Heaven. Today you would have been 56. I can't believe you've been gone for 44 days.  You left us way too soon and way too young.  I hear a song on the radio from our youth and want to call you. 
There are no words to describe the profound loss I have in my heart. I tried my hardest to make your final days the best they could be under the circumstances. I wanted to be with you when you left us to be with our Lord, but you could not wait. I am thankful that I was able to bring you to Hemet to spend your final days as we missed out on so much time together. 
I am thankful that you entrusted me with your care, to take care of your babies, Doug and Susie, to make decisions for you when you became unable to do so. I won’t lie, it was one of the most difficult things I ever had to do, but I would do it again in a second if it meant you were back here with me.  I contacted all the friends you met while you were trying to get better like you asked me to. They were devastated to hear of your passing.  You only were only there in the rehabilitation center for 16 days, but you made an impact on those lovely ladies who you met there. You were loved by so many people than you could have ever imagined. I take great comfort knowing you are with Dad now.
We could've  never predicted that your stay at my home in February would the last time you would visit us in my home.  I am thankful I was able to be with you after you passed. That walk I took with you when you left Hemet for the last time at 5:24 p.m. on June 4, 2019 will be cherished forever.  I love you forever, Esta.

Rosa has always had “one-liners” meant for humorous intent and it was a wonderful surprise to see that remained during her battle.  Rosas sense of humor and strength should be an inspiration to us all.     In the hospital.... a student nurse comes in to check her vitals.   The nurse asks “how are you feeling?  Are you feeling better than earlier?”    Rosa replies “yes.  Less pain”.  Nurse asks “can you tell me your name?”   Rosa replies “my name is Elmer Fudd. I own a mansion and a yacht”.  We all laughed.   I will miss her.  I will miss our talks.   I’m glad to have spent some time with her and I will remember her words always.... “Don’t sweat the small stuff”.     Rest In Peace Miss Rosa.   I love you girl.  

Sending prayers and love to Rosa’s family/friends ♥️🙏🏽.  Rosa and I worked together and mostly shared stories about our loving dogs.  I will miss you Rosa!!!

We would get together with all the girls to celebrate special occasions.  Here is Rosa, trying to hide her profile.  She didn't like taking pictures.  On this day she was happy to be with her besties.  We will miss her jokes, nicknames, Spanish, her Qvc shopping and her wonderful dog stories

I remember some happy times. She may have had her ups and downs but don't we all. Deep down Rosa had a soul that cared deeply .
I remember a incident that may not seem funny to some but it was a accident and I wasn't hurt which made it funny. We even talked about it several months ago. We were at Home Depot which she hated going to with me but she went. She waited outside in her red truck, picked me up but somehow ran over my foot. I told her move up, up your on my foot and she backed up instead then pulled forward again. That's what 3 times and my foot never knew the difference. With passing these is peace Rosa enjoy your new life and we will meet again one day.
