Vin, I was so sorry to hear this. I remember when you introduced me to Ro at a convention (which one, however, escapes me at the moment). She impressed me right from the beginning and the love you shared was obvious.
My condolences to you and your family.

My condolences to Vin and Family,
Ro was a dear friend and great teacher. We met when she first came to Wimpfheimer, and we taught together on and off until her retirement. She shared her kindness, love, and understanding of young children with us everyday. She had a soft, sweet voice and sang all the best Ella Jenkins songs with the children. Her low key, but bubbly, accepting manner was special. Ro was such fun to be with, in the classroom and out. She loved her family dearly, and spoke of them often. She was so excited about becoming a Grandma. Love you, Ro!

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I had the pleasure of working with Ro for many years. She was truly a remarkable woman. Her sweet ways and calmness in the classroom was an inspiration to me. I will never forget the delight on the children's faces when she sang "Did you feed my cow?" She will be missed. In Peace,
Dawn Timmons

Roseanne was a wonderful neighbor. Roseanne and Vic had a loving relationship and raised two fine sons. Her obituary points out the various places where children benefited from her great teaching skills. We pray for the DiFate family during this time.

Dear Nancy & family,
We were so sorry to read about Roseanne's passing. I personally remember all the good times I had when she visited her grandmother, Rose, with her brother Nicholas. She was a kind, loving person and I'm sure will be missed.
Please accept our sincere sympathy. Love, Angela and John Rescigno (Ciccimarra)

I had the great pleasure of working alongside Roseanne for three years at Wimpfheimer from 2006 - 2009. She was one of the warmest and friendliest people to first welcome me to the WNS family. I will always remember how she would drink from a seemingly magical thermos--the contents always steaming hot as she poured them into the tiny attached cup regardless of the time! Whenever I would remark about this, Roseanne would sweetly offer to share some with me. This little memory is indicative of her personality and kind heart. Children and adults alike love you, Roseanne! I am sending warm thoughts to your family and friends. Love, Kelly

I have so many memories of Roseanne and all of the ways she touched our lives at Wimpfheimer (and beyond). Today I found the old "kid cowboy boots" in my office - a hallmark of western ranch & horses week!
I was looking forward to coming over and visiting with her after the semester, to swap pictures and stories about grand babies. I've hesitated to write because no words can sum it up. Know that we love her, and through her, her beautiful family.
Godspeed, Ro.
