So sorry to hear of Rosemary's passing. She was my first boss after college at ARC. I enjoyed working with such a fun, loving & caring person. Her family was very important to her. Keep your memories of her close to your heart and she will always be with you.

I was saddened to read of Rosemary's passing--my sympathies to her family. Reading about her brought back memories of my early Firestone days when Rosemary, Donna Farley and I would share warm laughs at Akron Press Club and IABC (communicators assoc)gatherings. I always admired Rosemary's dedication to the Red Cross causes and mission. The world needs more folks like her who make a real difference!

Dearest Donnie and Leah...
I am still numb. I loved her so much. She was the big sister I never had and I will miss her so. Paul and I will always be there for you, any time, any place forever. My heart is broken. So many wonderful memories she has left us with will keep me smiling (a redhead and a blonde in a casino in Vegas where we shouldn't have been - lol). I am forever indebted to you Donnie for sharing this woman with me for so many years.... Angel Hugs (\0/)

I always admired Aunt Rose's service and dedication to the community through her work at the Red Cross. She was an inspiration to me when I joined the APD. I love her and will miss her dearly but will always have fond memories. May God give you comfort Uncle Don, Cousin Leah, Blake, and Wyatt.
