Mrs. RoseAnne Santiago

RoseAnne Santiago, that’s me, entered the gates of Heaven on 09/21/2024.  I won’t say I entered into eternal rest because at the moment, it's on like donkey kong up here celebrating my arrival.  I'm up here with my momma, my daddy, mamaw and papaw, lil Paul, aunts, uncles and a whole slew of super cool angels.  But most importantly, I'm in the presence of my Lord, Jesus.  I was hoping we’d all be able to come here together during the Rapture, which unfortunately didn't happen but it's ok because we'll all be together soon and it will be like we were never apart.  And I'll be waiting at the gates of Heaven for you with a mile-wide grin on my face. 

I left ahead of my siblings, Rick Helton, Paula Fowler, Kathy Carroll and Marie Hampton, and I joined a sister who left ahead of me, Jeannie Roberts.  I go ahead of my son, Chris Hittinger, who first made me a momma; my second son, Nick Hittinger, who held the title of "my baby" for 24 years; my "inherited-by-marriage" kids, Sabrina Santiago and Jonathan Santiago, that stuck it out with me despite the bumps in the road ...... and then there's my mid-life surprise baby, who many thought was my grandson much to my shigrin, the perfect blend of Caucasian and Puerto Rican, my Cauca-Rican baby boy, Antonio Santiago. My ToneTone.  I love you all so much and I'm so sorry I went ahead of you so suddenly.  But I also had to leave ahead of the greatest love of my entire life, my soul-mate and the most honorable man I've ever known, my husband Eddie Santiago..... my Ebbudd.  Dang babe, I'm so sorry we didn't get to grow old(er) together.  But I'll be there waiting with a big fat grin and an ice cold Pepsi when you get to Heaven, and you can finish the whole thing by yourself.  

Ok, so anyone that wants to come visit me before my ceremonial send-off, I’ll be at Grace Funeral Services ~ Moncks Corner location.  My funeral service will be held on, October 5, 2024 @ 4pm.  PLEASE do not send flowers unless they are alive and planted in a pot of dirt.  Cut flowers have no chance of living and my family doesn't need to bury me then watch my flowers decompose. Thank you, but please don't waste your money sending floral arrangements because if they aren't alive and in a pot of dirt, some other "traveler" is going to get them.  

There's so much more I want to say but, I have to  sign off here.  "Ci Vediamo tutti".  I love you all so much!
