So sorry to hear of the passing of Rose. She and Pat were best of friends of my parents, Joe & Ida Guccia. They were special people to me also. Please know that Rose is in heaven with Pat and she will be remembered always. Please remember that family and friends are there for you at this difficult time. It will take time but it will get better. She will always be in your hearts. Again please accept my deepest condolences.
Dear Francescone family,
I was very sorry to read that Rose has died. My family, the Goodmans, lived next door to you on Aldrich Avenue in Binghamton. I remember your mother and father very well. They were fine people. My parents are both gone, Mom in 1993 at age 62 and Dad in 2010 at age 88. My brother Ed lives near Albuquerque, New Mexico, and my sister Janis lives near Chicago, Illinois. We all have wonderful memories of Aldrich Avenue and being neighbors to the Francescones.
Yours, Phil Goodman
Binghamton, NY
I am so sad to hear the news of your mom’s death. My earliest childhood memories are of your family as our next door neighbors on Aldrich Avenue and coming to your house to visit with your parents. I still remember her jet black hair and her standing in your kitchen preparing her special Italian dinners. I know that she must have been so proud of all of you. It is so hard to say goodbye to our parents’ generation and to know that our memories are all that connects us to them. I am thinking of your family. Janis Goodman (daughter of Lillian and Morris Goodman)
