Mom's Eulogy: When it came to her life before our family, my mom rarely shared any of her childhood memories. I have learned more about her in the last 3 weeks from my cousins than I knew my entire life. I've now learned stories of how her family had to urgently flee their home, leaving everything behind, due to political unrest and threats to her family. I can't imagine the fear and uncertainty she felt as a child, knowing her family was in danger or that she'd never be reunited with her toys or the home she once knew. Despite this, she grew up to be smart, independent and courageous. She was elegant and beautiful, with a special warmth and kindness that was obvious to all who knew her. She remained close to her large family in Colombia, who she loved dearly. I can't imagine the courage it took for her to leave everyone and everything behind to move to the US, alone, to chase her dream of working in New York City. Her quiet confidence, courage and sense of adventure were ahead of her time.
Soon after she married my father and became a mom. There was nothing more important to her than being our mom. She always made her children feel special and loved. No matter how tired she was, she'd never complain; she always had smiles and hugs for each of us. She was our biggest fan with whatever we wanted to do. I have many memories of her playing with me as a young child for hours and never showing even one sign of boredom. We'd watch the Lawrence Welk Show every Sunday and we'd dance together in the living room. She was a talented seamstress and she enjoyed making the most beautiful outfits and dresses for my sister and me. When I was sick, her nurturing was so comforting that it seemed like just her incredible sweetness alone would make me feel better.
After my brother and sister moved out, I stayed behind since I was the youngest. My sister Ellie and I were very close, so my mom knew I was lonely after she left. When my high school best friend needed a place to stay, without hesitation my mom took her in to live with use for the remainder of my high school years. I can't remember my mom every being angry or yelling at any of us as most parents are inevitable pushed to do. She was always sweet and kind, never judgmental, never made any of us feel guilty when we hurt her feelings. Even when she disagreed with my life choices, she kept her opinions to herself and made sure I only felt pure love and support from her. When I made mistakes she was always there to help me work through them. She was always there for all her children, no matter what.
My father passed away 28 years ago. Her kids had already moved out. My mother made a decision to enjoy the rest of her life to the fullest. Despite being proficient in 4 languages as well as being a Morse code interpreter when she was younger, she remained passionate about continuing to learn new things. She took classes to learn everything she had an interest in; piano, Tai Chi, computers and Hula dancing just to name a few. She also had such a thirst for adventures. My sister, my mom and I spent many years traveling the world together. Throughout our travels, she'd make friends with strangers who instantly connected with her.
Her sense of humor was adorable. She'd always be so proud of herself each time she tricked someone with her "pride and joy" prank. Upon having a nice conversation with a new person, before parting she'd ask them if she could show them a picture of her pride and joy. When she pulled out her wallet to show them the photo, the unsuspecting person naturally expected that this sweet little lady was about to show them a picture of a grandchild. But instead, she'd show them a picture she kept in her wallet of Pride laundry detergent and Joy dish soap. Then she'd call me afterward to tell about their reaction. I was always so proud of her of her great sense of humor.
She loved all of her grandchildren. Being a grandmother brought her so much joy. She cherished the time she was able to spend time with each of her grandchildren and nothing made her happier than our big family gatherings.
In my adult years, we still typically ended the telephone conversations by competing over who loved each other more. After I became a mother, she mentioned that I could now stop trying to out-compete her because I'd finally understand that indeed it was impossible to compete with her love for me. I remember her telling me that motherhood would help me realize this. She was right.
I feel so honored and grateful that I was able to be at her side when she took her last breath. In her final weeks of life, her legacy helped further cement connections and forge new bonds in what now will be new chapters in her family's ongoing story.
I know she left us proud of the family that she built, the relationships she created and encouraged and the memories we will always cherish.

I received this beautiful bouquet of flowers and chocolate dipped strawberry today at my home. It was the first time I've ever received chocolate-dipped dipped strawberries. One of my best friends Soraya, and her son Justin and his wife Mica sent it to me. Soraya and I met in the early 90s and have remained good friends throughout all these years. She has met my mom multiple times and my mom was very fond of her.

It’s hard to believe that Grandma Rosa is no longer with us. As a child i remember the days where everyone would run around her back yard and play all sorts of games. I remember the way she would always tell me to stop growing because eventually i wouldn’t be able to fit through her door. Whenever there was a reason to celebrate, there was a reason to visit her. She never failed to light up a room and she made the best party host. She always made sure that everyone was fed and couldn’t rest until she was sure everyone was happy. Even in her last days, she was able to bring everyone together and share her love for her family. And although i’ll never be able to share moments such as these with her again, they will forever live in my heart as will her loving spirit.

She and her daughters showed me what love and family really are. My mother was the black sheep (to no fault of her own) however when I lost her and my sister I was completely alone with my daughter. They took me in and loved me even at my worst. It was the greatest thing to witness and learn from. To really understand what love/family was about, which helped me love my daughter better. I’m so proud and honored to have them.
One of the things that I keep reflecting in is how EVERY single time I came to visit for over 20 years she had fresh hummus made for me because it was my favorite! (Who does that? She did). I’m losing my words from emotion, but they are silly and can’t express how she was truly just one of the most genuine, kind and intelligent humans that have blessed this earth. She really was something to admire.

Rosa, how I will miss you and the smile you had on your face every time we met. I remember when I First met your in 1989 at the house on Moss Way in Tampa where Ellie and Janet lived.
I remember how excited she was when she found out I was Colombian. She said” “Finally someone I can speak my language to.” She immediately started to speak Spanish to me and tell me stories about Colombia.
She was always so graceful and always wanted to help. I remember every time I would see her or speak to her on the phone, she would tell me she had a picture of Ellie and I on her wall in the Garage, and that every time she walked in it put a smile on her face.
I feel honored to have had the opportunity to have met such a special person like Rosa. She always found the greatness in every person she encountered.
Rosa leaves us with a large void in our hearts because we no longer have her with us, but she left us a treasure chest full of wonderful memories that we will carry in our hearts for the rest of our lives.
God has called upon another Angel to sit by his side, for her purpose in this world was fulfilled and we must say good bye. Rosa is now our guardian angel watching over us.
May the lord embrace her under his wing, and may he give the family the strength to cope with her loss. "Rosa, you will forever live in our heart and our mind" Thank you for your kindness, humbleness and for just being you. My thoughts and prayers always to your family.

I loved so much your mother, she considered herself as being my "columbian mother" here in the US, we were doing Tai Chi and Italian class together for years...
I'll miss her a LOT and I will always remember her as the kindest person I have ever known here in the US..

What a sweet cheerful and caring person. Always a hug and a smile. We thank her so much for always welcoming us as if we were family. The one thing I remember was that if you ever sat at her table to eat a meal you had to be sure not to turn your head. If you did, she would heap another serving on your plate while you weren't looking. She will be missed very much but remembered always. Our most vivid memory is the last Christmas we went to her home. She was out front welcoming us in and wearing a beautiful sweater. She always made all of us feel special. Rest in Peace, Jane and Keith.

Letter to my Mom Rosa Olvira..
Rosa...Olvira...Mom
Are you sure this is a goodbye for ever?
Are you sure you’re not going to answer me when I call?
Are you sure you’re not going to play piano and sing together anymore?
This is really the hardest thing for me.
I always when I call and say goodbye, your answer is do not ever say goodbye, you should say till next time.
I do listen to you but you changed the rules now and You are pressuring me to say goodbye.
What do you want me to do with your phone number? Who will be on the other side answering me?
I keep thinking you’re playing with me, like you always do and that you will surprise me in Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and Valentine’s Day.
Anytime you want I am ready to see you or talk to you.
If you cannot make it physically, please show up in my dreams and tell me your news.
Let me know if you like your new place?
You did prepare yourself and your soul by being good and praying to be able to go to heaven, so you’re now our Angel in heaven.
Do not forget us.
Please don’t be mad at me but it’s still hard for me now to say goodbye, maybe with time when I feel you’re happy I will say it to you...
Goodbye... till we meet again
You always described me as a trouble maker but at the same time you love me as a son,
Especially when we used to sing together our favorite song...I love you...I hate you...for celine Dion and Pavarotti
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_Y0tC31VcA
Say hello to my Mom and my uncles
Always remember that you’re with me wherever I go, you’re always in my heart
Till we meet again
Your son Joe

The loss of your beautiful personality has left a void in me. A sudden storm has filled my sky and replaced the light of your kindness and the warmth of your love with gray clouds and freezing rain. I know that this storm will pass, as all storms eventually do, but for now it darkens my days.
Never again will I hear you laugh at my silliness, or see you give me a stern look amd chide me for "fighting" with my sisters. Never again will I get to eat some delicious meal you prepared just for me, or have you kiss my cheeks while stand abashed. Never again will you make me dance with you to your music, or will you take my hand and pat it before I leave. Never again...
It's hard to imagine a visit to Florida without you Grandma Rosa; I wish I could have just a little bit more time with you; I love you and I miss you dearly.

Rosita Bonita, As her name meaning, is the true beautiful flower for every person who met her.
I am so fortunate to get to know Rosita thanks to her nephew Joe.
She made me feel as a part of her family, She always welcomed me in her house.
I learned a lot from her. She was so patient and humble.
Her love of life is so contagious, her amazing smile will light up the whole room.
I had the chance to spend many quality times with her, from watching her favorite show Dancing with the Stars, to listening to her playing the piano and singing, preparing desserts together, surprising her at her Tai Chi class, it was a blessing to see how much she was loved by everyone.
Her amazing heart has stopped beating, her beautiful and gentle soul ascended to heaven but will forever remain in our hearts.
Rosita Bonita left a legacy of love, dedication, care, perseverance and strength and she left behind the most amazing children and grandchildren.
May Rosita Rest in peace where there’s no pain or suffering.
My condolences to the family and her loved ones.

I received this beautiful floral arrangements on October 15th from my good friend Julie Rivera. She wanted to make sure that they were roses since my mom's name is Rosa and the color yellow for friendship. She always remembered my mom that she met her on many occasions. Julie and I became friends in our teenage years and she is one of the kindest people I know from the day we met to this date.
Friends always, Ellie.

Tribute To My GrandMa Rosa,
Who would it have imagine that 30 years ago I was going to write the same exact words that I could write today: “I will love you for an eternity!”
30 years ago I wrote this letter… the hopes of a 10 year old that felt in love with you from day one. As my letter says, “the love I feel for you is like that feather that is elevated to the sky.” “I know the circumstances might not allow us to see each other soon, but I hope one day we will reunite”… this new time… in Heaven.
Tiita, You were a Grandma for me, a Friend, a Confident, a Teacher and the best Accomplice ever. I would always cherish every single moment that we had together, the late nights speaking about the dreams and hopes of a teenager and later the ones of an adult. I will always remember your English lessons and your carefulness to make sure I would learn phonetics, the early runs to try to catch my school bus, your face of happiness when you gave me my Cat Moises, the funny hours laughing about the nonsense while watching Latin American soap operas, you prepping me for my Grad night at Disney and my Prom night. I will never forget your sweet gaze when I first met my first love, and your care, words and advice to make sure my heart will be safeguard always throughout all the years to come.(How to forget that big smile when you finally met my Husband!!!)
I will never forget your beautiful details, your excitement to cook and to teach me my favorite meals and your attempt to making sure I was well fed with “M”yandra, Tabule, Tahine, Kaftas, and indulged with Baklava. I will never forget your pride and smile as you introduced me to all your friends as your Grand Daughter.
You taught me sooooooo many things… to make life happy with just ice cream, a devotion for Christ and a to always carry a smile and generosity towards others. You taught me life is wonderful when you sing those songs that only bring happy memories. You taught me that no matter the age, is never too late to do what you love, to learn new things, and that the world is there to be explored. You taught me to love languages, and that the best language is the one that is communicated with your eyes. I will miss our morse code, our phone calls, your voice, your accent when you say “Mi Chiquita Bonita”. I will miss holding hands while sleeping together, counting the sheeps with each clock second, and the front head kisses that blessed me everytime when I said “I see you later”.
I wish today, I could just do what you did with your photos… make eternal each of these moments, freeze time and have them forever. Most of these, I carry in my head as if they were yesterday. Thank you for being there for me through the years, for every single detail that made you so special. Thank you for spending hours with me and teaching me the values of an exceptional woman. Thank you for always making me feel I was at home and thank you for allowing me to be there for you in the last days and for teaching me one of your last lessons: to fight for my life until the last day always smiling and singing!. I only could wish one day, I could have the strength and the resilience that you have showed us always.
I love you more than words can tell… Forever and ever…as we always said: I love you, I love you… I love you!
Tu Chiquita Bonita, Nasyezda!
Ps. To Lou, Ellie, Janet, Mimi, Mia, Elijah, Caitlynn, Reid, Joe, Lucecita, Cara, James, Larry ....you are and will always be my family.

I received this beautiful flower arrangement on October 14th from one of my closest friends, Robin Micheli Keller and her daughter Madison. Throughout our 30 year of friendship, she has heard multiple stories of my mother to include our travel Adventures. This even inspired her to take a trip to Italy with the girls which included me. This was a fabulous trip.
Friend always, Ellie

My grandma Rosa was one of the most loving people I have ever known. She had a smile that was contagious and every time we would come over she always made sure they ate, often forgetting about herself in the process. It was always a joy being around her, and I’ll treasure every memory because each one is full of her love. She would make cupcakes with vanilla frosting and colorful round sprinkles, we would do Easter egg hunts, we all made these little dolls together, and she would always give us four kisses in the sign of the cross. However, what I’ll remember the most was that every time she waked in the room you were loved unconditionally. I’ll miss her, she was an amazing and wonderful person.

I have so many childhood memories of you. I remember you telling me bedtime stories watching movies and TV shows listening to music and trying to cook my favorite meal. My favorite story is when I wanted to learn to play baseball as a small child and you purchase books and learn how to play baseball yourself and then taught me how to play. You were a fabulous grandmother to my four children whom all adored you. You were always kind helpful and generous to the very end. I love you mom forever.
Your son Lou.

My deepest sympathies for the Abusaid family. I knew Rosa for only the past two years. However, she felt like a part of my life for much longer. She was so welcoming and loving from the onset; her kind and loving nature was genuine and apparent. Nothing brought her a purer joy than her family, which meant everything.
In my short time knowing her, but also from all the stories I have heard, Rosa was a truly generous and compassionate person, and was also an extraordinary individual that lived a rich life. Her adventurous and independent spirit, which will live on in the wonderful stories that will be shared and remembered by her loved ones for years to come, was also a defining character. She is a true role model. I feel so lucky to have known Rosa; and I will never forget her beautiful smile.

I met Rosa for the first time in 2013 when I went to visit the USA for the first time. She welcomed me to her home and we instantly got along. Even though there was a language barrier we somehow communicated. We love to cook and bake together. I remember one story when her son Lou accidentally dropped an egg on the floor and we struggle to pick the Slime off the floor and she thought for some reason that was hilarious. I will dearly miss her but always cherish the good times.
You're nephew, Eli Abisaid

I try to interlace the words that with tears come from my soul, words that at this moment I don't want to say,
words that will accompany this sadness and the absence I did not expect.
Today,
nostalgia visits me again
recalling memories of that great woman,
A wonderful woman, full of strength, full of vitality, full of life
Today,
It seems that the words also say goodbye to me
I have so much to say but her absence mutes my voice
it captivates my thinking and I just simply can't.
Auntie, this I want to tell you,
And I know that you will listen to me because you have not left and you will never leave
because you are in every beat
in every tear
in every breath
Right now you are alive,
And so your essence continues.
Your memory, your example,
your courage and your effort
have been captured in our memory
and written with golden letters in our hearts.
Beloved aunt,
your words will live in my soul
I will remember them every morning.
Right now sadness takes away my calm
but I make your memory very mine, your kisses, your hugs are an endless treasure.
Auntie, admirable woman,
You haven't died, and you never will
because one doesn’t die when a heart stops beating
One dies when memories cease to exist.
And you are present
are you here,
you are alive,
for all
for me.
I love you beautiful Elvirita, and when I get to your side
Teach me how to fly.

Rosa knew that every one of my vehicles had a place where I would keep the small bamboo crosses she made for me on Palm Sunday. She knew they would keep me safe. From my modded Mustang to my rock-crawler Wrangler to my daily driver, Rosa and her crosses were with me every mile. I may now have to travel the road with only her memory, but that is enough to make the journey warm, safe and full of love. She will forever be carried in my heart.

To the most kindest, generous, loving, helpful, caring person that I knew on planet earth and was so fortunate to have her as my own mother. She never gave unsolicited advice, was always positive and was my biggest fan and loyal to the end. I was so fortunate to have her for all these years but will deeply miss her forever. I have countless wonderful memories of her. Most people's favorite is the story of when she offered to pay for piano lessons when I was an adult as it was not possible when I was a child. I told her it was a little too late as I was too old to learn. Months later on my birthday she surprised me with a telephone call playing an organ while singing happy birthday to me as she had been taking piano lessons for months. She again offered to pay for my piano lessons because if she was able to learn at her age she felt I could as well. Playing the organ became one of her passions in her senior years.

Rosa was truly a kind and caring woman. Ricky and I have wonderful memories of family get togethers over the many years we have known her and those times were unforgettable. She was an awesome cook and always made everyone feel welcome. She gave me the nickname Mountain Man many years ago on a trip to the Grand Canyon and from then on that is who I was to her. We will miss her very much and are comforted to know that she is now at peace. We send our condolences to the entire family, she was one of a kind a will be missed, all our love, Ricky and the Mountain Man.

I was very sad to hear of Rosa's passing. I have been so blessed to have her in my life. Rosa was a great music student, but also so much more. She always made me laugh and brightened the day. Whenever she entered the store, we would all say "ROSA!!!" She would bring me candy, dress in costume for special events, and attend as many classes as possible. She always kept on the go which was an inspiration to everyone around her. What a beautiful, caring, generous and optimistic woman. I know many of us will miss her dearly.
Sending love to all of her family and friends.

Rosa was a wonderful, unique and humble person; She was one of the most loyal friends anyone could wish for. Rosa and I worked together teaching English learning children, in NJ. - She was very proud of her own children, and always stood up for their rights. Rosa then moved to FL., and we lost contact with one another. She did not give up until she found me. After a few years of not communicating with one another, we were finally able to e-mail.!. She used to share beautiful poems and prayers with me and my family, some of which I still have. I now live in FL too, but her e-mails stopped coming before I was able to move here. I will never forget her kindness in spite of the hard life she was destined to live. She was a loving mother and always remembered friend. I am lighting a blue candle for my friend,as it was her favorite color, the color of Our Lady. I know she is in Her company, this day in October. She is probably making Her some of her delicious Baklava.
