Our Rose, First Lady of Patsy’s will be forever missed!

Rose Scognamillo, The First Lady of Patsy’s went to heaven this week to visit with Mr. Sinatra.

This news hit me very hard because of how beautiful and wonderful she was.

Since 1977 this great lady has treated me like family. She always made me feel like I was one of the stars on the wall of her famed family restaurant.

She had a wonderful quiet smile that made you always want to hug her. She was a very strong-willed woman that always seemed to be protecting her family.

I have to be honest and selfishly say that I really loved her because she truly reminded me of my mother, Strong and beautiful.

Today I cry not for beautiful Rose, but for her son Sal, wife Lisa, and their sons. I especially cry for her husband Joe who loved her more than life itself!

I do wholeheartedly believe in God and know that Rose is in a better place.

I do also know that Frank Sinatra, her most famous patron at Patsy’s is about to welcome Rose in as he sings All The Way!
