I am truly truly sadden by the death of gram! She was so special to me. I will never forget her, my heart is broken!!
A beautiful woman inside and out who was my 2nd Mom through High School and College. She taught me me so many things that stay with me 30 years later… special ornaments, xmas cookies (I make her recipes every year), visiting hours and to always match my shoes to my outfit! She was devoted to her loved ones, always had a smile on her face, and she was either making us laugh are yelling at us “visiting hours are over”! Rest In Peace Rose. I am blessed to have known you.

My sincere condolences to her loving family and friends. Rose was a warm, genuine woman who always greeted me with enthusiasm, she was a second mom to many people who flowed into her home through the years. Friday nights in high school especially stick out in my mind. A shout from the living room, I remember so vividly when I walked up the stairs of Waldo Street, “Hi Patti!, “Jo, Patti’s here!” Miss you Mrs. Demilo. Rest In Peace
