I am sad to hear the news of Rose Verde's passing. I loved Rose Verde so very much. She was the warmest and dearest cousin. She was always so welcoming and so giving! When I was young, my brother John and I, with our Uncle Willie, would go to Jack and Rose's house for our monthly haircut. Rose and Jack were so sweet. I especially remember Rose surprising me with a minature Casatella on one of our vists. We would have alot of fun playing board games with Annette and Louisa. What a great family. I will memember her fondly.
The Ventotene Foundation would like to send our deepest condolences to the family of Rose Verde. Both Rose and Silvestro (Jack) were such a vital and important part of the success of the Ventotene Foundation for so many years. They are now together again and may their souls rest in peace.
Paul andd I send our deepest condolenceson the death of your grandmother. She was lucky in life to know her great grandchildren and they to know her. The warmth of your family Michael extended every where. Your grandmother is now in Paradise with those that have gone before her, with my family. She will always be with you. Love to all Elena and Paul Eckley PS She will be buried in the same cemetery that my grandmother rests, St. John's.
