She is survived by her older brother Giovanni, and a younger sister Maria, as well as nine nephews and nieces, and eight grandnephews and grandnieces. Sister Rosetta found the Lord as the center of her life and gave her life totally to Him as she began her journey to be a Faithful Missionary. She entered the Missionary novitiate in 1941 in Vimercate, (Milan) Italy and made her first Profession as a Canossian Daughter of Charity, Servant of the Poor in 1944.

He had a thriving business in Newton, MA for many years prior to moving to New Mexico. He could fix almost anything mechanical and tried unsuccessfully to keep his talents a secret from his neighbors. Of course, the word spread and he was kept very busy! When asked for help, he always lent a hand, often displaying a gruff exterior when he truly had a tender heart and enjoyed helping others. Bruno was a very loyal friend; when he loved you it was forever. Bruno was a caring, thoughtful, empathic person to his friends and family. We will all miss Bruno's friendship, ongoing curiosity and humor. He will be deeply missed. A memorial service will be held in Massachusetts in March, 2014
