                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 30, 2009

  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I stand here today to recognize the life 
of Rose Ann Galletta Corigliano as she prepares to celebrate her 80th 
birthday on August 8, 2009.
  Rose, born on Hickory Street in Buffalo, currently lives with her 
husband James in Amherst, New York and the pair has a long history of 
being active members of the Western New York community.
  In 1963, Rose and James founded Rosina Food Products, a small sausage 
business James named after his wife, which serviced small meat markets, 
supermarkets and restaurants in the local Buffalo area.
  With Rose's family meatball recipe, Rosina Foods flourished. Within a 
short time, Rosina Foods saw immense success, moving towards selling 
their products nationally.
  Today, Rose and James have handed the family business down to their 
sons, Russell and Frank, who now serve as President and Executive Vice 
President. Russell and Frank have made some major acquisitions, 
including that of two labels which allows Rosina's to sell many frozen 
pasta items throughout the United States.

  Rose still serves as the inspiration behind the enormously successful 
and ever growing Rosina Food Products, Inc. and the company regularly 
gives back to local organizations in the community.
  I would like to congratulate Rose for reaching this important 
milestone. It is my pleasure to recognize Rose's many contributions to 
her family, friends and community. I wish Rose many more years of 
continued success and happiness.
