I just heard from my Mom of "Mrs Market's" passing. I am sorry for your loss. However, I am very thankful to have had the her as my baby sitter growing up. I have very fond memories of her to say the least. One of the funniest ones that I recall was that whenever I would play with the toys and come back to the room the toys were all put away and back in the proper place. She put up with the antics of Stan and I with great stride. I think as time moved on she realized that boys will be boys... One of the most compassionate things she did was when I had a terrible day at Emerson. ( I was terrified of handicap people). She heard of my episode and came out to me while I was ridding my bike and asked if I was "ok". It was a simple gesture yet something I never forgot. Thanks to you Mrs. Market for the neighbor and role model that made Cherokee Drive in Sidney a place to call home.

Dear Fammily of Rosemary,
I did send Rosemary a letter here on line but wonder if it went through. I am so sorry for your loss. Through many years, she and I were like sisters, always best friends. Her photo shows what she was always like in her soul. That is the way I will remember her.

I am so sorry for your loss, John and family. I remember so many wonderful times with Rosie, from 1st grade thru graduation. Although we haven't been close for some time, losing Rosie is like losing an arm. Rosie, Mary Lou Reser Raterman, Anne Hemmert Freytag and me, Sylvia Wagner Haywood were such a great team of friends trough the years and she will be so missed.

Sorry for the loss of a wonderful lady who I still remember as a great supporter of her girls and the kids at Emerson when I had the opportunity to get know her when I taught Heidi. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
