We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:8-9

“Rose spent most of her life on Leighton Avenue in Red Bank. She worked for many years at the A&P on Monmouth Street in the meat department. She finished her working years at Foodtown on Broad Street in Red Bank. Rose retired early to devote more time to family. She was a third generation Italian-American whose family hailed from Southern Italy. Their surnames were Tomaino and Mazza. Rose was a devout Catholic who attended Saint Dorothea Church in her later years. She was a religious woman who was also modest, polite, fiercely loyal, cautious, and proud of others. Rose enjoyed knitting, chocolate ice cream, provolone cheese, and spaghetti with clam sauce. She always had a piece of hard candy for the children. She is with the angels now.”
