Dear Rose, it's hard to believe that five years have passed since you left us to be in God's hands.  I still miss  you dearly and think of you often.  Thanks for the many wonderful memories you left with me and my family.  God bless you.


Dear Rose.  It's so sad not having you to talk to and share time together.  I still miss you very much.  With Love....Your brother Gino

My Aunt Rosie, I miss our talks and wish you were still with me today. I dream about you and know you are resting on peace as we all will one day. Love you very much. Gina

My sister Rose.  No words can say how much I miss you today, and every day to come til I see you again.  Love, Mary Ann.

Sweet Rose. I think of you every day, and especially today when you had to leave and be at peace. I miss you so much! I still use the coffee mug each day that you sent me. It says, "In the cookies of life friends are the chocolate chips." I will always cherish the friendship we had.  You are in my prayers every night. Love you, Your BFF Nancy

Aunt Rosie you are missed dearly. Your smile, your laugh forever in my heart. I dream of you often and I know you are well. Give Nonnie a big hug from us. With love, your niece Grazia and Family.

DEAR SISTER ROSE:  YOU LEFT US 4 YEARS AGO TODAY AND OUR THOUGHTS GO BACK TO THAT SORROWFUL TIME FOR YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO LOVED YOU, BUT ALSO BACK TO A TIME OF JOY, KNOWING THAT YOUR SOUL AND THE SOULS OF ALL OF OUR DEARLY DEPARTED WOULD BE FOREVER TOGETHER, EMBRACED BY AN EVER-LOVING AND MERCIFUL GOD. THE MEMORY OF YOU WILL NEVER DIE.  LOVE, TOMMY.

Rose, on the anniversary of your birthday I'm the one that received a wonderful gift from you. I finally got a house with a porch just like you had in CA.  I always wanted one like yours.  After praying to you to help me, I finally got it and I sit out there and talk to you all the time.  Miss you, mom, and Zia Nancy and know that you are all together.  Love, Mary Ann.

Happy Birthday Dear Rose. I still can't  comprehend that you're not here with us all. I will always love and miss you, especially your sweet voice and happy laugh. You were such a treasured friend and I will forever remember and hold on to all the fond memories we had. May you be resting in peace.  Love Your BFF, Nancy

Hello my angel and Happy Birthday.  Seems like just yesterday that we were sharing a beautiful life together.  I think of you and miss you everyday.  You would have been 72 today.  Enjoy your day in heaven my darling.  With eternal Love,  Your husband Bob.

Happy Birthday, Rose. I hope you like the flowers we sent to you.  I love and miss you every day.  I still remember the day they brought you home from the hospital when you were born. Thank you for the many wonderful memories as we grew up and then enjoyed adulthood together.  Your loving brother, Gino

Rose, it's still hard for me to believe that you are no longer with us.  How many times I want to call you or go out shopping or to bingo, or just to talk.  I miss that you were the only person I could share everything with.  God bless you sweetie.

Sister Rose, as your birthdate, 4/11, approaches our thoughts turn to you and to the memories of the great times that we had as a family and to the blessings that a loving God has provided. May your soul and the souls of all of our dearly departed rest in peace.  Your brother, Tommy. [potomactom@aol.com]

Dear Rosie, we're in our third February since you left us to go with God and to be with our other departed love ones. Life here goes on. While I  miss you very much, my faith in God gives me a sense of peace that your soul is in a much better place ... a place where, God willing, our souls will meet again in the great beyond. With love, your brother Tommy.

Rose, I will miss celebrating your birthday with you, and calling you just to talk.  It seems so long since we did that.  I miss you every day.  I talk to your picture in my room and cry.  Then I hear mama's words she used to say to me when I had a problem: "stop that crying"--and I listen to her and try to be strong and stop.

Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday Dear Rose, Happy Birthday To You! Hope I sounded ok. I miss you so very much. Love, You BFF

Happy Birthday, Rose.  It's still tough not having you with us. I think of you often.  I hope you enjoy the flowers we got for you--I know how much you loved flowers.  Your loving brother and sister-in-law....

Rosie, I think of you often.  I'm terrible at remembering birthdays, but I'll never forget yours ... tomorrow, April 11.  As a boy I remember the day that Mom came home from the hospital with a new baby girl ... you!  How exciting that was for your sister Mary Ann and brothers Gino and Tommy!  God blessed us to be together as a family for all of those many ensuing decades. But, life has its sorrows; we've suffered the loss of many family members.  My faith tells me that your soul and theirs are reunited and seated at the right hand of God in Heaven now and forever. Save a seat for your brother Tommy, dear sister.

Happy Birthday sweet Rosie. I visited your home and saw many pictures again of your beautiful face and smile.  You did a beautiful job decorating and you are missed so much on the earth. Like Tommy God picked you two and took with HIM to a more beautiful place and you all have no pain or suffering anymore. That gives me more Faith and Love and Hope.  I miss my sweet Tommy who was gone a yr Jan 13 and now you, today already been 2 years.  We love and miss you but wouldn't want you back to suffer when you can be with Christ and have eternal JOY. Love you my friend forever, Mary Ann

To our dear Rosie:  Here in Maryland, where you and your Maryland family grew up, we're trying to recover from a terrible snow storm.  But time and temperature will surely erase it.  For me, what will never be erased are the memories of you who left us 2 years ago in California to join our other dear loved ones in Heaven.  May God hold you and them in His ever-loving eternal embrace.  Your brother, Tommy.

Rose, my sister, no one misses you as much as I do.  We grew up together and shared moments no other girls could.  Playing with our dolls and then playing with our children when we grew up.  I miss sharing my thoughts with you and to call you up and just say "what are you up to."  I say "hi" to you every time I hear the train in our neighborhood cause I know you are saying "hi" to me.  One day we will say "hi" to each other face to face.  Til then, keep in touch.  Love, your sister, Mary Ann.

Aunt Rosie
Two years have gone by and it seems like yesterday. I still look at your pictures and can't believe that you are gone.  Knowing you are at peace with the Lord and with Nonnie is very comforting. Love and miss you so much. Gina

Mom,
Miss you more and more every day.
It has been two years since you left us. I know you and Nonnie are looking down on us. 
Love you, 
Danny your son

Dear BFF,
It's me again. Here it is two whole years that you left us to be with God and at peace. It still seems like yesterday that I was chatting with you and hearing your sweet voice and cheerful laugh. I miss you so much Rose and will never get over that you're not here. You are still in my prayers every single night, and of course in my heart. You were the best!  Love you,Nancy

Dear sister Rose:  At this Christmas time my thoughts turn to our family loved ones whose warm and joyful presence is missed so very much.  You, and they, are forever in my memory, and forever in my heart. 

Your brother, Tommy.

Aunt Rosie, I am thinking about you today and missing you. You were such a light around us and always so excited about the holidays.  I still decorate my Christmas tree with the ornaments you made for me.  So sweet.  Rest in God's arms.  Gina

Another holiday season, and another season without our dear sister, Rosie. I miss your creative ideas which made the season such a beautiful experience for all who saw your talented holiday  creations.  And, whenever I hear the songs of the season that we all grew up with, I think of you and your love of music.  We all love and miss your smiling face.  With love, your brother Tommy.

Aunt Rosie you are always in my prayers...Happy birthday...will always remember the many birthdays we celebrated together...may you rest in peace
Love you, Grazia

Another year, another birthday.  My precious Rosie, you remain always and forever in my heart.  I will always love you and will never forget all the memories and the good times.  Your resting place is nearby and I visit you often.  You are always on my mind.  The Lord blessed us when he brought us together, even if it was for just seven years.  I would do it all over again in a heartbeat,  Your love is all around me.  You touched so many lives.  Your loving family and oh so many friends miss you as I do.  Rest in eternal peace my beautiful wife.  Until we meet again, be with God.  Your Loving Husband, Bob

Happy Birthday Rose. 
Wish I could call you up and tell you this over the phone like I used to. We both are reaching a Big one this year and I always used to say you became a year older than me first!  I still to this day miss hearing your voice, your laugh and being able to talk with you just about anything.
You will forever remain in my thoughts and in my heart.
Love Your BFF,
Nancy

Happy Birthday mommy. I miss you everyday. I will miss calling you today to wish you a Happy Birthday and hear your sweet voice. I know you are looking down on us right now. Every time I hear a train whistle I think of you as you are in the " Garden of Love" in Hughson and are with God now.

love you and miss you mom.
Love,
Danny

Aunt Rosie, today is your birthday and you would have received a beautiful card from me as you did every year.  But this year I am sending you a message with my love.  I miss you and I miss our great conversations.  I take comfort knowing you are healed and in the loving arms of our Lord and your mother.  Love you, your niece Gina.

Dear sister Rose:  As your birthday approaches in 3 days our thoughts and fond memories of you intensify and our hearts break no less.  The birthday flowers laid on your resting place will confirm once again our eternal love for a dear sister.  Until we meet again ....

Rose, you were my best friend and not a day goes by that I don't think about you and miss you so very much. Love, Cheryl

Rose, the pain of you not being here in our lives is still with us.  It breaks my heart that we lost you so young. You left so many wonderful memories with me of the times we had together growing up and in adulthood, and staying in touch with each other. May God keep you in His embrace.  I'll always love you....your brother.....Gino

My Dear, Precious Rosie.  It is hard to believe that it has been a year since God called you home.  It has been a year of learning and adjusting.  You are in my thoughts every day.  But the thoughts and memories are oh so good and special.  I think of the places we went and the things we did.  I think of the fun we had and the love we shared.  I think of your kindness and your beautiful smile.  You are forever in my heart.  I thank God for the few short years we had together.  I know my Angel is at peace and awaiting our reunion in God's time.  Forever My Love, your husband and best friend .... Bob

Aunt Rosie, I miss our talks and I hope you are hearing my prayers.  I can't believe it's been one year.  Love you always, Gina.

Rosie, our sweet sister, you're missed so very much since Feb. 1, 2014 when you went to join our parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and other loved ones. May the good Lord bless and keep you in His loving embrace, together with our dear, departed loved ones.  Your forever brother, Tommy

Rose on your first anniversary without us, I miss you so much.  Until we meet again.  Your sister, Mary Ann.

Aunt Rosie, your memorial was so beautiful and exactly what I needed to bring me some closure to your passing.  I believe you heard what I said about you and I still feel your love for me.  Gina

Rose,

I have known your big brother, Tommy for over 8 years and because of that relationship, I have come to know the Dercola family and extended family.  They are a gregarious group....full of love, laughter and celebrations always have lots of good food!

Last week, I attended your memorial service.  It was a fitting tribute and the room overflowed with love for you.  Your sister gave the eulogy and both brothers did special readings.  Although it was an emotional time for them and they often choked back tears, the conversation soon turned to memories and this brought a smile to everyone....tears of happiness and joy.  Your son's comments were heartfelt and loving and your grandson has become the kind of man that any grandma would be proud of!

Although you cannot be brought back to this earth, you can and will be remembered for the vibrant, loving and devoted woman that you were to so many.  May G-d hold you in His loving arms......Judy Stone

On your birthday Rosie I'm remembering yours this April 11th and, for the very first time ... since the day Momma brought our new baby sister Rose home from the hospital ... you are not here to send a card to, to call, to hear your voice, and to share your special day.  This makes me so very sad.  Tomorrow your MD family & friends will gather at the church to remember our dear Rose and to pray for you and all of our departed loved ones.  May God be with you now and forever more.  Your loving brother, Tommy.

Hello Dear Friend,
Thinking about you as I do everyday, but more so today because it is special. I know you are up in heaven celebrating with your Mom and everyone. Happy Birthday!
Love Your BFF, Nancy

Hello to all of Rose's family and friends.  As some of you know, she was a large part of my life back in high school and we kept in touch many years afterwards.  I have thought of her so very often and am so sorry to hear of her passing.  Looking at all the pictures, it looks like she finally had what she always deserved ---- a very happy, content life.  Thank you so much for posting this wonderful tribute.

Bob, so very sorry to hear of Rose's passing. She'd been in my prayers for her health since I visited with you two back in June of last year. You both were there in my time of need when my dad passed almost 4 years ago, something I'll never forget. May God's peace comfort you at this time. Love, Kraig

Bob,Dannny,Jeff,Gino, MaryAnn,Tommy and family, I am so sorry for your loss.  I loved Rose and will miss her wonderful smile. My deepest sympathy for your loss. Please know you are in our prayers. Lou Czwartacki

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Hi Tommy, Gino, and Maryann - I can't believe I'm seeing Rosie again.  As you know, we were best friends in high school.  The last time I spoke to her, she told me she met someone and was moving to Califormia.  I never knew she remarried, but I'm glad to see she was so very happy--and still a lovely person.  My sister, Joan, forwarded me Tommy's message.  Love, Jeannette (Cicero/Davies/Mastromarino).

Danny & Jeff, am so sorry you have lost your  mom and dearest friend as there is no dearer friend than a mother.  May you be comforted in the knowledge that she is no longer suffering and is at peace.  Prayers go out for you that you will feel God's loving touch during these difficult days.  Love, Aunt Pat

I went to school with Rose from Jr. High and then graduated with her from High Point Class of 1963. She was such a good friend and always had a smile. I spoke with Rose back in Oct. 2012 when we were planning our 50th reunion. Unfortunately she was unable to attend because of health reasons. My sincerest condolences to her family.

To my brother, Gino Dercola, and to Rose's husband, Bob Neutzling, two very, very special men, this note is for you.  I embrace you both with all of my heart for the love and caring that you've shown to Rose, most especially in her final days and moments.  No one knows what you've had to endure, but I pray to God that ... on this day of our sister's burial ...  that He will comfort you both as you continue to be Rose's two Guardian Angels on behalf of all of us who have loved her but cannot be with her on this final day.  May He continue to give you strength now and forever more.  My gratitude for your efforts on behalf of my sister Rose and on behalf of the Dercola family is unbounding.  At the end of this day I pray that you ... Gino and Bob ... both will find the peace that comes from knowing that both of you, too, are loved and appreciated so very much by those who loved Rose.

Dear Bob,
I'm so blessed to have had lots of laughs with Rosie.  Especially, when she was signing Elvis songs! You are both in my prayers.  Love you, Leysa Fileccia

To my beautiful aunt who always had a zest for life, may you rest in peace.  You will always be in my prayers.  Grazia

Bob, please accept my deepest sympathy for you and your family and to the Dercola family. I have known Rose, Tommy, Gino and Mary Ann most of my life and will always remember the good times we and our families shared. So sad to hear of her passing.  She will surely be missed.
-Carolyn Durso Prosperi (Millsboro, De)

Mom. Thank you for bringing me into this world. I am so proud to say that you were my MOM. Your were the best mom anyone could ever have. All my friends used to say " Danny, your mom is the coolest. I just wish I could hear your voice once more. Just once. I love you mom. I miss you so much. I am here now at your home and I see you everywhere here. How you decorated the house. You always were so good at it. I love you Mom. Hug Nonnie and may you not be in pain any longer. 
Love you, your little Danny

So very saddened at the news of Rose's passing.  I remember her beautiful smile and always happy, bubbly personality.  My sincerest condolences to her family.

To my loving sister who I will never get over losing, I love you.  A prayer for you: Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand, I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm worn, through the storm, through the night, lead me to the light, take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.

I remember your smile, your bubbly personality and your friendliness. First met you at Bucklodge Jr. High and then continued on at High Point and a stint at the U.S. Customs Service.  You will be remembered.

Rose, Although I haven't seen you since our 40th High Point reunion, you have frequently been on my mind. May your memory be eternal. Ruth

Aunt Rosie, you were always so sweet to me and my girls and I will never forget your pretty face and smile. I've missed you the past few years but I'm so glad you had a happy life in California. Thank you Bob for giving her that. I am so sorry to your siblings, but I'm glad you are out of pain and in a better place. Rest in peace, until we meet again...

My Dearest Friend Rose,

I will miss hearing your sweet voice and all our wonderful phone conversations. We always made each other laugh no matter what. You never failed to brighten my day!
I will never forget you and all the great memories. You will always be in my heart.

Love Your BFF,
Nancy

Rose, you were always more like a sister to me than a sister-in-law.  We shared so many happy times, you will always be in my heart.  I am so sorry I did not get to see you while you were in California, but I am glad that these last years brought you such happiness.  I will always be thankful to Bob for giving you such a wonderful life.
I will love you and will miss you forever.

My sincerest condolences during this difficult time.

Aunt Rosie, you have always been a bright spot in my life.  Always happy to see me, always made me feel so loved.  I will miss our phone calls, our email chats, and most of all, hearing you say my name in the sweet way you always did when we spoke on the phone.  I know you are in peace, no more pain, watching over us now in Nonnie's loving arms.  You were the kindest Godmother any one could have. You will always be in my prayers and always in my thoughts.  And now you are MY Guardian Angel.  I love you.  Gina

"Rosie" ... the name itself brings a smile to a brother's face.  When I think of you I think of that wonderful "Rosie" smile of yours and of our shared love of music and the joy that I know that music brought to your life and to the lives of your brothers and sister.  You were always Mom's baby girl and she loved you so very much.  It comforts me to know that your spirit is in heaven now where Mom's loving spirit awaits us all. Your courage and endurance, in the face of the adversities of life, is a remarkable testimony to your capacity to love life and to love those who touched your life. My dear sister, Rosie, I will love and remember you till my own dying day. With a broken heart, I will always remain your loving and admiring brother, Tommy.

I always loved my sister Rose with all of my heart.  At this time of grief, I can't even tell you how hard this pains me.  I miss her so much.  She will always be in my thoughts and prayers.  She brightened up my life.  Your loving brother, Gino

God sent her to me in her time of need.  We journeyed together through good times and bad.... and the good times, there were many.  Her smile showed it all, and she was beautiful.  Her touch was warm, and her love was special and never-ending.  And that love still lives in my heart and will never die.  I'm so proud of her courage.  I have no regrets.  She was the light of my life for eight very special and wonderful years.  Rest in peace my precious wife Rosie.  Be with God.  Your loving husband and best friend .... Bobby

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Rosie, oh Rose,  you never gave up.  You were a trooper all along. You were in pain and yet you smiled. You loved us all.  You never hated anyone, you had love writen all over your face and better yet inside it shown forth. Now on your days we should send baloons up to the heavens to you as you did your mother. Would you like that, my friend?  I love you to this day, and your spirit will live on and on through eternity with JESUS and all the angels and Saints.  Mary Ann and Tom

So sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dan, so sorry for you and your family! Losing a loved one is always painful. You will be in my thoughts and prayers! Have a safe trip.

Mom, i'm never going to forget you and all you did for me. I'll try and make you proud in everything I do in life. I'll try to be happy and healthy, because I know that's all you ever wanted for me. I wont let you down.
-Love, your son, Jeff.

my heart breaks for the loss of a very dear & devoted friend & my deepest sympathy to her husband Bob who she loved deeply & who made her one of the happiest wives possibe .   her greiving friend Butch
