Sad day indeed when I received the news that you had left this earth Anna. You will be missed greatly by many-many friends and loved ones. I will always cherish the great memories of working and hanging out together during the SuperX/Florida Choice days. A lot of great and fun times we all had before we started heading our separate ways.
Rest In Peace my friend.
There is nothing I can say right now that would ease your pain and heartbreak. All I can offer is this simple reminder to hold onto the memories…Rosanna may be gone, but those memories will last forever. I will never forget all the talks we shared about football and the trip we were planning to Italy. Rest peacefully in heaven my friend "Ciao"

May you Rest In Peace, as we never got to Italy together, but we did get to Pittsburgh, PA & the sea escape cruise & the Melbourne Beach Hilton & Holiday Inn as you dressed up one night wearing a belt, and I was just dressed casual, lol. So many football watch parties, delicious meals together, & good times at chilis together. My baby girl Sarah was born the day after your birthdays on 1/27, and you’ll never let me forget I should have had her a day earlier. My laughter, Patriot & fantasy football friend, even though I loved the Steelers, late night phone call cheer me up, feed me sister.

We worked together for a long time. She loved and talked of her family always and her nephews. I will miss Rosanna's soups...especially her wedding soup and her love of dogs. On more than one occasion she pet sat for me in a pinch. She had a good heart. She will be missed

Rosanna was one of my Continental daughters. I loved her and will miss her terribly. I will miss her calls all hours of the night. She left this world much to young. She was a giver and caretaker for so many including me. I’m glad I knew her and loved our time working on projects for the airline employees. She blessed me this year with an American/Italian flag which flies at my home. I will continue to pray for her soul and pray for her families hearts which I know are breaking. You are once again with you twin sister. God bless you sweet girl. I have so many memories of our friendship

What a wonderful women we lost. She made everyone feel like her best friend. God gained another Angel when she left this earth. We are praying for the entire family.
Rosanna was a good, kind, loving person. I truly enjoyed working with her at Continental Airlines. We laughed a lot and cried a little when one of her dogs passed away. She will be missed.
Lisa, I am so sorry to learn of your beautiful sister's passing. Please know I am holding you and your mother in prayer. May memories of your sisters comfort you.
