    Rosie was a beautiful woman, so full of life and love. Uncle Nick, it was evident how much she loved being married to you and raising a family with you. When she enveloped you in a “Rosie bear hug” you felt so cherished. I’ll always remember her fondly for these hugs and the delicious baked goods she’d bring to the Pleiman family gatherings. Her smile and laugh were contagious. I just felt happy being around Rosie and will miss her very much.
