My mom was beautiful inside and out. She adored her family and loved her friends. She had a big heart, was warm and friendly and everyone who crossed her path loved her! She was a people magnet because she was so much fun to be with. I love you mom!

My Love goes out to Rosemary's Family. To me she was such a beautiful person and such a good friend to my mom Jessie. I will always remember she would come and go to the park to play tennis and honking the horn as she drove past the house. We would all say, "There goes Rosemary!" May God be with all of you at this time, we love you.
