Anthony Longo
My sincere condolences to Joyce, Michael, June, Beverly and all of my cousin Rose's Calderone/Norcia extended family.
There are no few words to describe my cousin Rose. Her personality was so unique that I would never expect to meet anyone quite like her. Wait...I did meet someone, (who matched Rose, smile for smile and an overwhelming love of each other and their family) and that was her husband Tony Norcia.
That was the most perfect marriage I ever saw throughout my life.
I attended their wedding when I was 7 years old, and I was wide-eyed when I saw my beautiful cousin Rose enter the Hall, "Down the Valley". Little did I know that I would be equally wide-eyed when I attended the weddings of Rose's sisters Dolores and Shirley Calderone.
We all stayed close as family and friends, until Tony finally retired and he and Rose went ventured on extended travel.
Rose, her mother, (my Aunt Emily) her sisters Dolores and Shirley have all passed, but will remain in my heart and mind forever.
Rest in peace Rose,
Your cousin Tony Longo
