Dear Tim, Seth and Maggie,
I was so shocked to hear of Rosemary's passing. Rosemary was such a wondeful person, excellent nurse and a good friend. She always had a smile and it was fun to exchange stories about our little girls. She had the love of you and her family and it came through in her devotion to her patients. I fell truly blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing and working with her for ten years at SCCH.
Please know that I am thinking of all of you during this difficult time, and pray that God will bless you in this time of sorrow.
With my deepest sympathy,
Ann Marie Harman

Dear Nancy,
We were shocked to hear about Rosemary's passing. We hadn't seen her in a long time but we were talking about when you all lived in Pennsylvania and she was little and how much she liked coming to the house. She grew up and lead a good life, and we know that she is in a better place. Sorry we couldn't be there but know that thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Emma and Splinter

Tim, Seth & Maggie: As I sat there in the funeral services last night and ever since I heard of Rosemary's passing, I remembered the many joyful and stressful times we spent together at SCCH. She was truly a great friend to all and esp. to me as well as a great mentor. She taught me so much both as a co-worker and a co-educator. She had a way of teaching you that made it joyful and in a way you could always remember it.

I feel like I have lost one of my dearest friends. I know the Lord had His reasons for taking her at this time in her life and it's not ours to question. As Neville said last night, we will meet again.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am going to miss seeing her pass in her "favorite" van and tooting her horn

Tim, Nancy and family,

I can truly say that Rosemary was a wonderful person. She touched many peoples lives with her wit and personality through both her personal life and during her career as a nurse.
She spoke proudly of her family and expressed her love for her children daily. She was a mentor, teacher, care-giver, mother, wife, and daughter. She certainly made her mark in this world and will be remembered with respect for who she was.
May God comfort you and be with you. My prayers are with you.

Tim, Maggie, Seth and Nancy,
I am so sorry. I know the loss is great, it is for her friends and co-workers too. I had CNA and LPN classes with Rosemary. We carpooled for months going to SCCH. As the years passed we were co-workers and remained friends. A joy she was to be around! (She could always find ways to make me laugh). Our daughters attended girl scoutcamp together, Rosemary truely loved her family. I just saw her a couple of weeks ago at your home, she was excited about getting to go back to work soon. She was a terrific nurse, always caring for others, helping and teaching us how to do some procedure. I will truely miss my friend. God Bless each of you.

Tim and Family,
Hope and I are grieved over your loss. Of course Tim you have been special to us ever since the days of the Christian school and the basketball team. It is the reality of who Jesus is, and what He accomplished for us in His perfect life, death, resurrection, and ascension into glory that gives us any hope in this most difficult moment. May the Lord in His great mercy somehow sanctify this loss to you all, and bless the work of the Gospel in your hearts and lives.

By His Grace,
Tom and Hope Sullivan
