So sorry for your loss. I have lots of great childhood memories from Rosemary and Jack's house. She was without a doubt my mom's classiest friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My condolences to the family. Take comfort in knowing God keeps those who have died in HIs memory because they are "precious in His eyes" (Psalms 116:15)

I have so many memories of Aunt Rosemary! I always stood a little straighter in her presence! And I always minded my manners! My dad, her big brother told me that she was the epitome of class! He said she always knew the right thing to say and do...I think of all the aunts she was the one I wanted to impress the most! And thoughtful! Don't even get me started! I am 67 years old and she has sent me a birthday card every year of my life! She always signed it AND wrote a personal little note! I loved talking to her about family history! Her personal insight was always charming and informative! She recently shared with me how her mother, my grandmother, felt when she arrived in America at age 18! She heard it firsthand! I will miss her grace and charm dearly! How fortunate we are to have her in our family! Love to the Mahoneys! You are blessed!

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
