Not sure what to say?

I just discovered this and wish to add my condolences to a beautiful lady. I sang at her wedding but had not seen Rosemary since leaving Texas. God bless her family!

We loved Rosemary , such an awesome lady! Always a smile on her face. I meet her through Othel Neely and looked forward going by his office to chat with Rosemary.So glad I got to meet her!!! Heaven gained an angel ... John and Debbie Gamble

I was fortunate to be one of 4 ladies to visit with Rosemary on Friday, 2-13. We spent our time telling stories, laughing, talking about the soon to be garden outside her window. It was a wonderful visit, and one I will remember fondly. Rosemary was a very special lady, and she will be greatly missed. Darla Dotson (Hewitt Methodist Church)

I knew Rosemary in her middle age years through my association with the chamber of commerce of Hewitt. she was a huge part of that operation, and she helped us in so many ways, and we loved her so much. Debbie Smith Stohler

There was not a time that you would see Rosemary that she didn't have a smile on her face. I met Rosemary while she worked as my father-in-laws secretary. He always spoke so highly of Rosemary. She will always hold fond memories in our family and will be greatly missed! Phil and Nancy Neely
