Affectionately known as Rose, Ma and Avó.
She was a sewing wizard, an excellent cook, found comfort in saying her rosary and was always willing to give a helping hand.
She loved to travel far and wide and shopping was a favorite pastime. We will miss her "keeping us on our toes" and her stories.
We remember many of her favorite feasts like Bacalhau, Pickled Fish at Easter and the all-time favorite Christmas Eve Carne Vinha d' Alhos with a shot of whiskey.
She has joined the Angels in Heaven and in her words "I have lived a good life". Farewell Roza (Rose, Ma, Avó) we will meet again.
