I was so saddened to hear about Rosemary from my mother this morning. My deepest sympathies to all of you in this unbelievably difficult time. I will forever think of Rosemary as the smiliest girl in all of my classes at A-B. I don't think I can even picture her without a smile on her face. She was truly an inspiring girl and young woman and I know she will be desperately missed by all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My heartfelt sympathies to the Quigleys, to Jeffrey and to the larger group of good friends and well wishers who have loved Rosemary and who will deeply miss her. I feel privileged to be among the many who have admired and been touched by Rosemary's viltality, strength and spirit over the years. She has made a great contribution in far too short a life.
