Mary Rosus was not only my favorite patient I ever had the pleasure of doing therapy with but, unbeknownst to me, lived in my neighborhood for years and would pass me while in her friend’s car as I worked in my yard.So imagine my surprise when I walked in her room 3 1/2 years ago to evaluate her and she knew me but I had never met her until that day. Mary was loved by all at the retirement home and she was very warm and motherly to all the staff and all who lived there. I continued to visit her, along with my Mom, after I no longer worked at that building. She will be missed dearly. With Sympathies, Sondra M. Cupini and June Cupini
I only knew her through her adventures with her son Nick, but she sounded like quite a lady.
To Nick and families: Sorry to hear about the loss of your mom, grandma and mother-in-law. She was a special person to us when we were neighbors on Avenue C. She helped my aunt Teresa a lot when my mother was in Italy. She was a grand lady and will be greatly missed. God Bless You All now and always. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
