I was lucky enough to meet the LaRosa family through my sister. I was asked to make tote bags for my niece Lisa and Mark, who were new friends at St. Rose's Nursery School. My sister Pat and Marilyn became fast friends, and their families were intertwined forever. Our families grew, and the LaRosas were always there. Marilyn, Mike and Mark were my sister's dearest friends, and they became part of the family. I remember spending so many Easter Sundays with them all, and Marilyn was so famous for making her beautiful Easter Baskets for all the children, including my daughters. They will always treasure those memories. I will also remember her for making us beautiful crosses out of palm, on Palm Sunday. Marilyn, I will miss your happy and sweet personality, and your grace. You were one of the most wonderful, the most lovely, and the sweetest person I have ever met. May God grant you eternal rest....I will miss your smiling face!
