She was born June 30, 1957 in NYC where Rosa spent her formative years.

The story of her life doesn’t end with her death, the stories and memories of a life well lived will be shared by many for years to come. The sadness and heartache we feel at this time will be replaced by remembering the joy she brought to our lives.
