My sincere condolences to the family
Thank you I spent a few minutes talking to Gino Carlo and Franca the Milto have special part of lives and heart even though we don’t see each other that often.
I am heartbroken by the loss of Rosa. We grew up together in Savuto di Cleto, sharing those early years that stay with you forever. Even when life took us far apart—her to Prince Rupert in the mid-1960s and me to Toronto in 1970—those roots always connected us.
When I married her cousin Enrica in 1975 and she later moved to Toronto, our bond became even stronger. Over the years, Rosa was not just family—she was like a sister to me. We understood each other, respected each other, and shared many moments that I will always hold close to my heart.
I will miss her deeply. Her kindness, her presence, and the way she was part of my life for so many years will never be forgotten. Though she is now in Heaven, she will always remain with me in my memories and in my heart.
May she rest in peace.
Riposa in pace, cara Rosa. Non ti dimenticherò mai.

Riposa in pace, cara Rosa. Le mie più sincere condoglianze a tutta la famiglia. Non ti dimenticherò mai
Linda and Mike, our sincerest condolences to you and your whole family during this time of loss. May your memories of your mother carry you through this difficult time.
Our deepest sympathies. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead
My heartfelt condolences to Rosa’s beloved family. It was truly an honour to care for Rosa and to witness her remarkable strength, warmth, and deep love for her family. She will be remembered with great affection. May God comfort you all during this difficult time, and may Rosa rest in eternal peace.
Dear Magliocchi and Spano Families,
It is with deep sadness that I extend our heartfelt condolences on the passing of our beloved cousin.
From the first moment I saw her step off the train in
Prince Rupert, B.C., I was captivated, as we all were,
by her beauty queen looks. Almost 9 years my senior,
she became a role model for not only myself, but for all
young girls and women in her circle. Her culinary skills
became legendary as did her botanical and baking skills
as well. She was a good listener and over the years we
enjoyed many deep conversations. The world has lost
a true beauty, a rare and fragrant rose whose very essence has permeated all of our hearts with her love.
I shall miss you carissima cugina. Love you forever…
Cousins, Enrica and Pat Chieffallo
Thank you so much Enrica ❤️🙏
Thinking of you all at this time. Sending love and prayers.
When I was growing up in Prince Rupert B.C. my mother would always talk about her sister Celestina residing in Savuto, Italy. In 1964 when I was 8 years old, my aunt Celestina and her three children moved to Prince Rupert. I was so happy and excited to meet my aunt, but more importantly to meet my three cousins I had never seen before. My cousin Rose and Ida looked stunning! They both had bee-hive hairdos. Rose was a very beautiful and charming 18 year old! I saw her beauty for the first time in 1964. One year later, I was her ring boy at her wedding. After her marriage, I was her go-to guy for grocery runs at the local J&J Market. Every time she’d call I would go over to her house, pick up her grocery list and the money to pay for the grocery items. When I would return with the groceries she would always give me a generous tip for running the errands for her. I was always proud and “orgoglioso” to have such a beautiful and charming cousin. I remember one time when she was 40 years old, I told her she still looked beautiful. She kept looking beautiful until the end. Rosa, you were and will always be “La Regina Della Famiglia”. I am sure your family reunion in Heaven with your mom and dad is awesome and priceless. Now you can enrich Heaven with your beautiful smile and presence. Rest in Eternal Peace my beautiful and lovely cousin Rosetta.
Love your cugino Francesco Vennare
Thank you so much Frank ❤️🫂
My deep and heartfelt condolences and sympathies for the loss of our dear Rose. She will be forever loved and missed by all her family and friends. Rose left a beautiful mark on this world.

Love Colomba Vennare
Love and prayers for all of Rosa’s family and may you hold beautiful memories in your hearts forever. May her soul rest in peace.
I am so saddened by the loss of Rosa, a woman so loved by many. A new cousin by marriage for me but she had a way of making you feel you were family, she was my cugi. Fun loving, generous, family oriented and the peacemaker. I can hardly believe I won’t spend time in her company again, I cannot imagine how sad her family is having to go forward without her and I am thinking of all of you too. I pray for strength for you in the days ahead. Grateful for knowing and loving her and the memories that were made, I will cherish them always.
My deepest condolences to Rosa’s family. 🤍 I had the privilege of caring for Rosa for almost two months, and during that time, we built a very special bond. She became very special to me, and I will always carry her memories in my heart. I’m grateful I got to care for her and share those moments with her. May she rest peacefully. 🕊️🤍 She will always be remembered.
Condoleanza tutta la famiglia 🙏 Riposa in pace Rosa 🙏 Grazie che sei stata come una Mamma x mia sorella ! Non ti dimentichero mai ! Irma.
Our deepest sympathies go out to Rosa’s entire family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
May your memories of her bring you much peace during this difficult time.

🌹The Rose She Left Behind
It has taken me a while
to say that you are gone mum,
because naming loss
makes winter hardship real
and I wasn’t ready
to live in a season
without you.
My beautiful mother, my best friend.
Though oceans stretched between us,
your roots still reached me.
You were the quiet safe ground beneath my feet,
the voice I turned to every day,
my safety net,
my first garden,
my first & true love,
my home.
You were a gentle rose with everyone
sweet, generous,
always turning away from storms.
Although sometimes I wished
you would raise your thorns,
stand taller against the wind,
protect the things that needed protecting.
I am learning to make peace
with the ways you could
and could not bloom
I understand your constraints
And your reasons
You did it all for LOVE. ❤️
Even in the hospital,
In your last 6 months of life
you gave me and MollyRose a garden:
lunches beneath the courtyard sky,
bubbles drifting like tiny worlds,
music carrying us somewhere softer
Knowing your time and new chapter
Would soon arrive.
I gave you peace and strength
You gave me & MollyRose more memories.
Thank you for choosing me
To be your daughter
And you my mother, my best friend, my soulmate.
I am left with an ache for all that will never be:
flour on MollyRose’s little hands,
your recipes passed across the table,
a granddaughter baking beside her Nonna
And most of all
Your unquestionable unconditionally love
But MollyRose knows your touch.
She felt your love.
She carries your name.
She knows you and dadda are together.
And so you have not vanished.
You have legacy
In who you were
In your spirit
And in our thoughts and actions.
You are in MollyRose’s sweetness,
in every story I will tell her,
in every kindness I will teach her,
and in every rose
she stops to hold.
And through her, Mom,
Your recipes will still be cooked
And your Rose garden
will continue to grow. 🤍
Forever in my heart. I will carry you everywhere. 🥰😇❤️
Rest in peace.
