Lovable Rosie A retold story By Artie Davis Jr. My Great Aunt was born on Oct. 1st 1917. Her name is Rose Carmelengo. She is one of 13 kids. She went to P.S. 22 and P.S. 44. This story will tell the life of Rose. My Great Aunt was not able to graduate. This was because her parents were sick. And, my Great Aunt took care of them. Her job sewing at the factory did not bring the family to much money. But, her parents died. She stopped sewing because she has been for about 50 years! My mom was born, so my mom grew very close to her. My Uncles and Aunts grew close too. Then I was born. I was always sleeping over her house. Once around 3:00 in the morning, the phone rang. It was my Aunt. She could not breathe! My mom rushed to her house and took her to a hospital. After a while, they still did not know that it was. But, they found out. She had fluid in her system. This happened a few more times. But, she made it through all of the times! Now, she goes to bingo with all of her friends. She goes to Atlantic City too. She is living her life to the fullest!
