Para mi querida hermana/For my loving sister,
Rosi linda y pura
Con una risa conmovedora
Estamos aquí para despedirte
Y dejarte saber que siempre estará
En nuestras almas y corazones
En el cielo sé que está rodeada  de mami y papi y otros familiares
Y por supuesto Abuela Provi, quien te dio una bienvenida Celestial, lleno de abrazos y muchos besos como siempre nos daba a todos nosotros.
