      Unassuming woman she

      Loved by all her family.

      Radiant as the sunshine’s glow

      More brilliant now the place she goes

      Will be.

      Ever-loving woman she,

      Loved by all her family.

      Loving mother, nonna, friend and wife,

      Constant amidst the strife of life.

      Unyielding tree.

      Tender, giving woman she

      Loved by all her family.

      A smile, a laugh, kind words where pain,

      Guiding counsel where tumult seemed to reign.

      All free.

      Thought-provoking woman she,

      Loved by all her family.

      Gone now to a place apart,

      Though never straying from our hearts.

      Rose, God bless thee.
