George, Roxanne, and family -
I had the pleasure of working with Rosemary for many years in LVPG. We grew very close and since I left LVPG, we continued to meet periodically for lunch. Rosemary is one of those special friends who I always had fun with, admired and cared for in a special way. I am incredibly sad to hear of her passing, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you for whom she had such a special bond. Her love for her family was intense. She will be in my thoughts forever.

First we want to send our condolences to the families in this difficult time. I'm having a very hard time understanding how things work in our lives at this time in my life and find it a little difficult to stress how I'm feeling right now but here goes.
We were neighbors for so many years and friends forever. We will never forget her smile her laugh her love of country music her love of wine and just being a beautiful person. We had the opportunity to spend time with her last summer and it was like we never miss a beat catching up and I remember telling her " I will see ya" instead of goodbye and one day we will see each other again. She is at peace no more pain. One of the good people has left us but will never leave our hearts. Stay strong.

George, Lauren, Kristen & Family, Thomas & Family,
RoxAnne & Family, and Robb & Family...
She will be so missed by us. Our hearts are heavy with sadness for our dear friend who was taken from all of us way too soon. It's impossible to understand and so difficult to accept when sickness takes such a kind and loving soul from us. We had so many fun times together and were looking forward to so many more... this makes no sense. Someday, Rosemary, we will walk beside each other again.
Please know that we are here for all of you.
With love and deepest sympathy,

Dear Santayana family,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Way back when
Rosemary watched my daughter when my mother became ill. She was so great with the kids. My daughter had no transition period at all. I will be eternally grateful for her care and kindness. It is such a tremendous loss to lose someone so
wonderful. My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.

Dearest Santayana Family,
Words simply do not express the loss you have endured. Rosemary was a second mother to me and I will miss her dearly!!! I have not met a person whom was not touched by rosemary, she will be greatly missed. We extend our deepest condolences to your family. Heaven gained another angel this week and I know she is there with Ray and Lol watching over you all.

My sympathy goes out to the Santayana and Schrampf families. Rosemary was one of my favorite cousins growing up. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. She was always smiling and happy. I'll never forget her beautiful smile!!! She's in heaven with her mom and dad now. I'm sure they were waiting up there for her to welcome her in and her brother Ray was there for sure!!!! Be strong. I know this is to much to happen to you guys. Way to much!!! Love you all. Cousin Kim
