Thank you, Mrs. Donnelly, for being such a great next door neighbor and always having iced tea & pretzel rods at the ready whenever we came in from playing. Sorry for all the bad words I used, and windows I broke playing hockey in your driveway. Love and big hugs to Brad, Ryan, Glen & Chad. I'll always be prouder than you know to have grown up with you guys. Love, Chris Moriarty

Dear Vinny and family, I am so very sorry for the passing of RoseAnne. She was a such a good person and always made me laugh.

Love you always, Geegee McGowan

Dear Vinny, Brad, Ryan, Glen, and Chad, We are sorry to hear of RoseAnne's passing. She was a good friend and neighbor to our family for over 30 years. She kept not only her boys but our boys too in line while growing up. She could be tough and softhearted but always kind and caring with a great sense of humor. She was loved and Bea Avenue lost a great lady!

I really have no memory of ever not having an Aunt Roseanne. She was the silent conductor of the Donnelly orchestra, keeping ALL in line (especially that big one Vinny) with just a glance. Her passing is a huge loss to our entire family but especially Vinny, Brad, Ryan, Glen and Chad and their families. Rest in peace Aunt Roseanne we love you and will miss you.
