You could always find Mary Rose in the kitchen cooking her favorite meatballs, pasta and sauce. She loved to grow tomatoes in her garden. Her favorite time of year was when she would take a trip back to see her family, for her heart was always in Maryland. She was the life of the party who loved to dance and was always the first on the dance floor.
