ROGERS Rosemarie Lombardo Rosemarie Lombardo Rogers, loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grand mother and sister, left our world March 16, 2011, but not without making it a more beautiful and musical place. Her warm, rasping voice will always be remembered as a notable presence in her family...

Dear Diane Syd & David
I am presently vacationing in Lipari,Eolian Islands,Sicily(home of our mutual ancestors).A friend just emailed me news of your Mother's passing, and I just wanted to send along my condolences on behalf of another branch of the Lombardo family tree. I met Rosmarie (myMom's cousin) on a few occassions when she came to London Ontario for various functions over the years & sometimes when she visited my Grandma (her Aunt Josie Lombardo).
Sincere sympathies to all...

While working at WTOL-TV in Toledo, I had the great pleasure of interviewing Rosemarie at her home for a news story that aired around New Year's Eve of 2001. My condolences to the family. Rosemarie was the last surviving sibling of the famiy that started the greatest of all American holiday traditions. She will be missed.

Dear Diane, Syd, and Dave:
My heartfelt condolences for the passing of your mom. I have fond memories of talking with her for hours in the Springbrook kitchen as she was sewing or preparing a meal. She taught me how to open oysters and cherrystones. In this age of the internet, I was delighted to find "Stage Door Canteen" on YouTube.

I was thrilled when Rosemarie called me at home on the afternoon of June 4, 2009, to talk about the Guy Lombardo Music Centre and Guy's multiple-award-winning, Tempo VII hydroplane speedboat in her hometown of London, Ontario, Canada.
I never met Rosemarie, but on the phone she came across as one with a wonderful sense of humour and very down to earth. An absolute joy to talk to.

I met Rose when I was a teenager. I count her as one of a hand full of adults who taught me early lessons in how to love and accept others with an open mind, open heart, and open home. Her easy laughter and obvious passion for life are engraved in my memory. I will always carry a little bit of Rose in my heart. My condolences to her wonderful children, and my thanks for sharing your Mom with me. Keith Willey
