A Perth Amboy mother who police say was murdered in front of her children was laid to rest on Friday.
A funeral was held Friday morning at La Asuncion R.C Church in Perth Amboy for Rosanna Rodriguez. She was killed just days before her 40th birthday.
Officials say that Rodriguez’s husband, Wellinton Leonardo, stabbed her to death on Sept. 20. They say that Rodriguez’s children were in the room.
Rodriguez leaves behind four daughters who ranged in age from 11 months to 13 years old.
A GoFundMe page for the family has raised more than $27,000.
