Rosa "Foxxy", You were a vibrant, outgoing, fun loving, and friendly young lady. When you moved up North with our Gio we didn't realize how much you two really loved each other. Over time it became very clear that you two were soul mates. He loved you and you loved him. With that said, you automatically became part of the Silva and Ferreira Families. You were super friendly right off the bat! When you and Giovanni moved down south, we were all sad to see you guys go, but we knew you were moving on to the next chapter in your life together. It's been about a year since you moved and we missed you guys instantly. Our families meeting your family was not ideal, but we were welcomed to your family with wide open arms! I can honestly say that your family is extremely honorable, brave, loving and I was honored to meet them. I know you'll be watching over us all, especially Giovanni. You will be missed, our Angel. Thank you for the memories and smiles!! Love you!! XOXO

I met Rosa through Tulare
Pediatric Group where she came to see the doctor. She
always had a smile when she
came in even though she didn't
feel good. She was a very pretty and sweet girl. She always came in with Mrs. Estrada very sweet lady. It is
so hard to believe your gone
when we just seen you come
into the office last week. You
will forever be remembered.
May the Lord be with you and
your loved ones and guide them through this tough time.
My thoughts and prayers to the Estrada Family.

I had such a wonderful time working with Rosa at Citi. I loved playing this basketball game we created that we would play when it was slow. She was such a positive person & made me laugh. I loved teasing her about the cowboys, Chicago Bulls & Derrick Rose. You will be deeply missed & my prayers are with your family.

I met Rosa at the Tulare City School district office, where she worked for me as a co-op student. She was always smiling and happy and such a hardworker. She would talk to me about her family and how she loved them. A beautiful girl not only on the outside but inside as well. Her Mother and Father should be proud of the wonderful, giving, and beautiful person she was. Condolences and prayers to you, her family, for your sad loss and the big void left in your lives. May God and His Virgin Mother help you with the sad cross you carry. My heart hurts at her loss.
