“ A mom's hug lasts long after she lets go ” Unknown
Born in 1935 in the small town of Casalotto, Italy in the northern province of Piedmont, she emigrated to the U.S with her husband Antonio and 2 oldest sons in 1962. They arrived like many, with little else but their hopes and dreams of a better life in the United States. Their other 2 sons Robert and Stephen arrived by the end of the decade to make their lives even more full with the challenge of raising 4 sons. Rosanna was always the anchor, full of life, independent, with a smile that always warmed your heart. She worked in a variety of ways to complement Antonio who was sadly taken from her early in 1981. A seamstress, a nurse’s aid, business owner and more, she was fearless in her determination. She forged ahead with steady focus on her family. She loved to dance, paint, and most importantly, enjoy life.
“There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always
