Sweet and beautiful as her name,

Kind as can be,

Your admirable mother left a lifelong impression,

I am sure we would all agree.

The genuine smiles,

She did not spare,

Her zest for love and life,

Was as clear as crystal glassware.

Her love for others was authentic,

She wore her heart on her sleeves,

Although, at times, I was worried about her,

She would naturally redirect her attention to me.

Thank you for the gift of your mother,

She was truly one-of-a-kind.

Now she is with all others that have gone before us,

But one day, with much love, we will all reunite.

Love always, Alessio, Valentino, Marcello and Viktoria

I will always remember Rosa when she babysat me and took care of me just like my mother. One time she was so upset when I fell off the bike with no brakes which belonged to her son.

Rosa's life's journey mirrors the life of so many strong, kind, and detemined Ladies who came to this country on the wings of a prayer and a ferocious desire to better her family. Life had many challenges, but she meet them with grace, and a certanty of resolve.

Rosa was instrumential in raising a family to be proud of, and a legacy that will endure many generations and be exemplary to her children and grandchildren.

The Festa families loss is immense, but Rosa's endearing and enduring memory will a strong comfort.

Zia Rosa was a beautiful, loving wife, mother and friend to many. I will forever remember her for her kindness, grace and gentle demeanor. Her love and warmth always made me feel like I was apart of her family.

Zia you were a magician in the kitchen. I cherish the childhood memories of sitting around your Buckthorn kitchen table eating one of your baking surprises, cakes or freshly baked bread. You created so many special times for all of us. We love and miss you.

May God wrap you in his loving arms and keep you in his sight always!
