Rosamond Mary Templar Harper

Rosamond
will always hold a special spot in my Christmas memories. She loved the
bright decorations and the carols that we sang together. She sang less
and less the last year, but she was always quick to tell me that she
had had a beautiful voice when she was younger.


John Denver sang a sentiment that I'm sure Rosamond would claim:
"I hope that you will think of me in moments when you're happy and
you're smiling."


I'm comforted to know that Rosamond's...

As the one year anniversary of Mum's death approaches, I have found myself thinking of her more than I usually do - which is almost every day. So many times I have to make a decision and think what her advice may have been.....or do something that I would like to share with her.....or pick up the phone to ask Mom to let me say Hi to Mum. I know she is enjoying the trip back to New Zealand and having her ashes spread over places that meant something to her when she was younger. I still miss...

Mum's ashes are in New Zealand this month, being spread throughout the places she loved & enjoyed.

We love you & miss you Mum.

I was privelaged to be one of MUM's granddaughters. She taught me the meaning of so many things in life by just simply living her convictions every day. She loved totally, argued fiercly, and lived with fervor. I don't think MUM ever wasted a day of her life. She always had a purpose, even when others thought she was crazy. She blessed my life by being a part of it, and making me feel as though she was the lucky one. She passed along her love of the outdoors to me by taking me hiking and...

Rosamond was a wonderful friend of mine for many years. When I met her, I was ill with chronic fatigue syndrome and other ills. Rosamond kept me supplied with tapes and books, and literally inundated me with knowledge about health!
Our interest grew from health to metaphysics and beyond. It never ceases to amaze me at all of the things I've read in the last years, and recognized them as facts I learned from Rosamond many years earlier! She truly was "ahead of her time" as so many...

Rosamond was my friend. My youngest son, John, introduced me to Rosamond while he was volunteering at Muscogee Manor. He asked if I would play the piano for her. What I thought would be a casual visit turned out to be one of the richest blessings of my life.

Rosamond taught me the true meaning of friendship. Neither she nor I benefited materially or socially or in any business standings from our association with each other.. We never exchanged gifts of any great monetary...

I (George) will always remember Mrs Harper as the dynamic and vivacious person she was. I was honored that she permitted me call her "Mum."

I lead a Bible discussion in Columbus, GA for international women.
Rosamond went with me. She was transparent and always challenging. I loved her zest for life, her love for people especially children, and her forthrightness. Thank you Rosamond for enriching my life.

Rosamund was always light years ahead of her time.
Her ideas, considered way out at the time, are now increasingly being accepted as mainstream wisdom.
In her memory we should resolve to be more receptive to different approaches.
