Thank you for including us in this heartfelt and beautiful gathering. It was incredibly moving to hear the many loving and cherished memories shared by your family and friends. Although we did not have the pleasure of meeting Bianca Rosa, we can see through the stories and tributes just how special she was. Bianca Rosa’s spirit and the profound impact she had on those around her were evident in every word spoken. The warmth, love, and admiration that everyone expressed painted a vivid picture of a life well-lived and a heart that touched so many...
