One of my most cherished memories is sitting on the floor in her bedroom as she showed JoAnn and me all of the artwork that Tonya and Tammy made as children during school. She kept it all in the bottom drawers of her dresser and she taught me to treasure every craft made by the hands of my children. I loved to hear the brag-a-thon as she and JoAnn touted the achievements of their grandchildren--each grandchild's accomplishments becoming grander and more far-fetched as they traded boasts. She will be deeply missed.

To Bobby, Tammy, Tonya and family: I was sorry to hear of Rosaria’s passing. We had some fun times in High School and she was a very special friend to Barbara and I. Good memories are very comforting and I’m sure you have many. Love and hugs from Dora Rutledge (Bonura)
