ROSA, Ciriaco Domenico
Riposi in Pace
Born in Cepaloni Prov. Benevento, Italy,
November 8, 1931.
Died peacefully at the Royal Adelaide Hospital
on August 19, 2024.
Aged 92 years.
Dearly loved husband of Giovanna (dec).
Loving father of Carmel and Nicki.
Father-in-law of Joe.
Much loved nonno of Claudia and Monique.
We watched you suffer, we heard you sigh,
but all we could do was just stand by,
we lived in hope and prayed in vain
for God to make you well again,
but He decided we must part,
we watched you go with broken hearts.
Dear dad
I watched you try to find the strength to get well.
I watched you grimace in pain. I watched you struggle to
find the breath to keep going,
but in the end it all got too much for you,
so God decided it was time for you to go.
He sent his Angels and they wrapped their wings
around you and carried you home.
You have been a wonderful and loving father.
You loved your family unconditionally, And you
were truly admired, loved and respected by many.
A true gentleman.
I will forever miss you and will carry you in my heart.
I love you dad. RIP
Carmel
Dear Beautiful Dad,
What a kind, generous gentleman you were.
Loved and admired by many, you touched so many you touched so many hearts, bought joy and laughter to many.
Your family was your priority and you worked so hard to
make our lives better, you went above and beyond and
we are so grateful.
I watched you, over the past few years, suffer in pain but in the end it was too much to bear, it was time for you to say goodbye.
Heaven is rejoicing for an angel has joined them.
I will never forget you and will miss you to the end of my days.
I hope you have found peace and are reunited with
your loved ones.
Forever in our hearts.
Nicki, Joe, Claudia, Monique and Marco
Ciriaco Rosa's family wish to thank the RAH's doctors, nurses and the Palliative Care unit for their dedicated care, respect
and dignity they provided to our dad until the very end.
