Dear Sheri, my heart goes out to you and your family for your loss. Your Mom was a jewel and I am so saddened by the news of her passing. My prayers are with you and family.
I am so sorry for your loss. Please keep in mind the beautiful hope God gives us for the future in Revelation 21:4, which tells us: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore, the former things have passed away.” Soon we will be reunited with our loved ones that have fallen asleep in death. May the God of all comfort help you to endure during this dfficult time, remember to “throw your burden on Jehovah, and he will sustain you,” (Psalms 55:22).
I worked at Yale Law School with Roseann many years ago — she was a sweet, lovely young lady, always smiling and so friendly. She always spoke about Roger, the love of her life.
My deepest condolences to her family — her photo brought back many memories of our years at YLS — everyone that worked there had a close friendship with one another–it was a good time in our lives.
My thoughts and prayers are with Rosann’s family at this time. Although I didn’t know Rosann very long, both she and her husband were the kindest, most supportive and understanding people I encountered during my employment at St. Therese Church. This I will never forget. May the family find comfort in knowing that she is in a better place at this time but many people will miss her presence.
Dear Roger and family I loved Rosann we were Eucharist ministers at St Therese Church together I always loved seeing and talking to her She was a beautiful person Sending you all love and prayers God Bless Sincerely Vanessa Barraco
Roger and Family
We are so so sorry for your loss. Your wife,/mother was such a cheerful and happy woman. I (Corinne) enjoyed seeing her and Roger in Monday’s as we counted the collection in the rectory at St Barnabus. We just learned of this today as Don has been in the hospital for the last two weeks so we have been out of touch. Unfortunately we will not be able to attend the funeral but Roger, you and your family will be in our prayers. May she Rest In Peace.
Dear Roger, Roger Jr. Sherri, Karissa, Marty, Max, Zoe and Andy, I have had the pleasure of getting to know Roseann over the past several years through our work together at St. Therese. You know better than I, just how lovely and loving a person she was and my heart is deeply saddened by her passing from this life. I am grateful in a special way to her and to you, Roger, for allowing me to get to know Zoe – what a sweet child. I will still take her to blow out candles when she comes to Mass – be sure to tell her that. I will pray for all of you that God will provide you with what you need in this time of great sorrow and grant you sincere conviction in the truth that she lives on in the presence of the Lord she so loved and that one day, you all will be reunited with her. Sincerely, Deacon Ernie
My deepest condolences to you, Roger and family. I always enjoyed being a Eucharistic Minister with your wife. May God give you peace and healing hearts.
My deepest condolences to Roseann’s family. I met her thru a very close friend of mine. I would see her often at Stop and Shop. She was always so pleasant and will remember her by her beautiful smile. May happy memories help ease your pain and may God comfort you at this very sad time.
Roger, Sheri and Roger and extended family – We are truly heartbroken for Rosann’s passing. She was a beautiful, caring, loving and thoughtful person. She had an infectious laugh and smile that we will never forget. May God give you all strength as you try and move forward. You will always be in our prayers.
Dear Roger,
Lisa and myself we’re saddened to hear of the loss of Rosann. We all met each other at the Breakfast Connection. It was always nice talking to both of you when we ran into one another as you and me talked about your mail route Lisa and Rosann would talk. We will truly miss her. May the Good Lord Shine Down On you always and forever Roger.
Love Frank and Lisa Amarone Sr 🙏🙏🙏🙏
