Memories and Condolences
for Rosemarie Wagner

Not sure what to say?





Rose, you are my best friend. This is my favorite photo of you through all the years. It's been a struggle to sign and write to you but I want you to know how much I love you! From our early days working together, marriages, children even dogs we always made time for each other. We had so much fun, so many parties (your's all themed and perfectly thoughtful), lots of sharing adventures good and bad. Always laughing with a quick wit and you always got my jokes. I'm glad our boys have grown up together (Bradley still thinks he is cousins with Jeremy & Troy) it gave us lots more to talk about not that we ever were at a loss for topics! I know you are in a better place and are probably planning events when each of your many friends arrive at the pearly gates.
Love to Bob, Jeremy & Troy & Mrs. Viergutz. She is a fabulous person and is already missed. Lots & lots of Love, Cindy, Bill, Bradley & Tara

Dearest Bob, Jeremy, and Troy,

I just received mom and Heidilyns email about Rose passing away. Please know that even though I am in Kuwait I am praying for you and missing you three very much. You have been such a big part of our lives over the years. I remember when you and Rose were dating and we would come to visit in the old farm house and she would take us down the road to give treats to the horses. She was the sweetest most caring person and I will miss her greatly. My love to you three and know that she is now an angel guiding you three and watching over you. With all my love- Danielle

To Mr. Wagner, Jeremy and Troy,
I am at a loss for words, as I didn't even know Rose was sick. What I do know is that she was a doting mom who took wonderful care of her family. Jeremy, my prayers specifically go out to you and your dad and little brother. I miss seeing you at school.
Love,

Bob, Jeremy, and Troy,
We are so saddened about the passing of Rose. She was such a positive and lovely person. Such a dedicated mom and always so warm every time we saw her. We always enjoyed spending baseball games with your family and loved getting to know all of you better. The world is a better place for having had Rose in it and we will continue to take inspiration from her positive spirit. She will remain in our memories. Peace and love to you and those wonderful boys. Love, the Stacks

Bob, I know that as cousins we have not been close due to age and distance. What you need to know is that when you married Rose, she truly made "us" family!!! Her spirit, joy and enthusiam for Life is and always will be infectious! I know words are not consolation, but the blessing of your love for each other and your boys is Eternal! Our thoughts and Prayers are with you all!!! Bob, Susan Quinn and Maddie

Rose, We have so many fond memories, it would take a book to write them all. First of all, I remember how you and Chris were only about 3 & 4 and couldn't understand each other cuz you spoke German and Chris couldn't understand you and you couldn't understand her. But it didn't take long and you two were inseparable! I remember the many times you spent with us @ the farm, the sleepovers, birthday parties, at G'ma & G'pas lake cabin. Chris, Doug & Chukk called you their 2nd sister cuz you were part of our family. Then I remember the 32-hr. bus ride your mom and I took just to come out and see you and your family. We had so much fun!! And, of course your wedding, at which Chris was one of your bridesmaids, and at which we all had so much fun and your mom and dad were sooo proud of you for finding such a wonderful husband. And last, but not least your two wonderful boys, Jeremy & Troy, who had so much fun tackling and playing with Uncle Willard. We will all miss you very much,!! but also thank you for the most memorable times we had together. RIP, my dear.

I have many, many fond memories of Rose. We grew up 2 blocks from each other. I remember the skits we performed in elementary school - she was Lucy to my Charlie Brown. I remember the sleep overs and all of the laughter. She will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I met Rose in collge. She was a friend of three of my girlfriends. She was our Maid of Honor. Here's a tidbit. When she worked the college radio station, KUMD, her 'on-air' name was Rose Daniels. She kind of got into a little bit of trouble with her boss for taking to many BEATLES requests from me and my room-mates. Oh Rosie, we miss you so much. Craig-Cathy-Josie-Isabel.

Bob,
I was so deeply saddened to hear of Rose's passing. It has been many years since Rose and I worked together at Rodale, but I have wonderful memories of our time together. You and your family will be in my thoughts.

Rose, you were such a special person to me & you always will be. You helped me through countless tests I'd been having over the years, listened to me whine & just talked with me. One of my favorite memories is sitting with you & the dogs in the kitchen & I mentioned that Elizabeth was the only girl at a birthday party for Troy. Your response, "She's all the boys could handle & we needed a token girl for the party." You were the quintessential party planner, coffee hostess & book fair helper. I will miss you more than you know. In my mind, when I see the epitome of the perfect mother, your face is there. I will miss our coffee mornings, even though we didn't have one in a while. I love you & will miss you so much. You're now a special angel to so many people. With all my love,
Grace (Pete, Nicole, Elizabeth & Kimberly) Amstutz

Bob, Troy & Jeremy,
Rose was such a super Mom and was one of the first to welcome us to Pack 95. She was also my "go to person" for any help or questions I had for Scouts and she was always there to help with PTA too. My last memory of her will be of the Royals game in March when we sat together and she was so excited to have brought a friend of her son's to his first ever hockey game. She then told me about growing up in MN and how hockey was like football around here. I have some nice photos of that night and can still see her smiling face when we took the photos of the boys with the team mascot. The strife is over the battle is done, Rose will be in heaven keeping a close eye on Pack 95 and her family. With love and sympathy Susan, Chris and Liam Watson

Rest in peace Rose. I am so glad we became friends. I loved our walks, talks, lunches, volunteering at school together, cub scout functions, chatting at our kids sporting events...the list is endless. You will remain in my heart forever. Bob and the boys will be cared for you have no worries. Until we meet again <3
