Condolence: We were so saddened to hear of Rose’s passing. Our heartfelt condolences to Joe and the entire family. I knew Rose before, but really got to know her when we were roomies on the Luigi’s Girls bus trips. She delighted in getting the best deal with the most perks for all the ladies – that’s Rose – looking out for other people and always with exuberance and passion. We’ll miss you. May you rest in peace, Rose. Sincerely, Marie and Aldo

Condolence: Dear Joe and Family, I met Rose when I worked at AIG Credit and our office was never the same after she left! Rose brought incredible energy, passion and excitement to our small team! Her stories were hilarious and she always had a smile for each one of us. I can’t quite remember how it happened but I started calling her “Tulip” and wow, did we have fun with it 😊 I remember one Christmas, she made me her ‘world-famous’ cheese ball. I have used that cheese plate every Christmas since and I always chuckle remembering Rose; this year, it will be a bittersweet chuckle. My condolences to you all for losing such an incredibly vivacious, loving woman. Tulip, you may be gone, but you will never be forgotten.

Condolence: Im very sad to hear of the news of Rose's passing. Rose and i worked together during a period of industry termoil. As difficult as Rose's job was at the time, she was always so positive and so full of energY and always a pleaseure to be around. Im glad i had the chance to get to know Rose better and that we took the time to look at the picture books and hear the stories of all her wonderful trips. My heartfelt sympathy to all those that loved you.

Condolence: My deepest condolences to her husband Joe and all of Rose's loved ones. I worked with Rose at AIG. She was instrumental in helping me get a corporate team together for the Leukemia walk, a cause very close to both of us. You will be missed, Rose. May you now rest peacefully in paradise. Diane xo

Condolence: In the mid fifties when I was fifteen I was very fortunate to live with the McGrath family for a while. Rose was then a cute little six year old full of mischief and laughter. She never changed. No words can express how sorry we are to hear of her passing. Heart-felt condolences go out to you Joe and your relatives,her siblings Ken and Joe McGrath and their families and nieces Kathy and Robin. Someone so special will not be forgotten. Rest in peace dear sweet Rosie. With love and friendship. Bruce and Marg

Condolence: To Joe, It is with a heavy heart that we send our condolences to you and to Rose's family. Rose and I are/were friends for more than 40 years. We were baseball buddies, partners in crime, work colleague/friends and business partners of "Luigi's Ladies". Rose put up a valiant fight and will always be fondly remembered. When the "Coach Canada" bus arrives at St. Peter's gates, I hope Rose is there to greet us. Sincerely, Betty & Jim

Condolence: We never got to see a lot of each other, but when we did its like we were never far apart. She had a wonderful personality. I can still hear her laughter. My heart goes out to my cousin Joe and Rose's family. She will be greatly missed. She is no longer in pain and with gods angels. Rest in peace Rose. Love Lucy
