Not sure what to say?

Oh, my goodness! I stumbled upon this obituary by accident because my Christmas card/letter to Rosemary was returned to me. I sent it to the address that I have sent it to for years and was puzzled that it was returned for "no such number." So, I looked up her address online and thought that maybe I should resend the card; except...wait!! What is that?! An obituary?! Oh, no, it is and it´s for Rosemary. I am saddened to learn that she has passed away. Rosemary and I became...

I found this quite by accident and am saddened to know that my brilliant colleague at AISD in Dhaka has passed. Blessed be her memory.

Jesse and family, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Though James and I arrived for her memorial on the wrong day, you should know that there was a small group who also followed the information from the newspaper. We all ended up having wonderful conversations about Rosemary. I did not know her well, but I do know how much she meant to James and many others. Thinking of you, Mary Ward

"Surpassing Kindness and Generosity" aptly describes Rosemary. Rosemary and I became friends while sharing employment with the Portland Public Schools. She was always so upbeat and was quick to offer help or support if needed. I shall miss her ready smile and friendly nature. Rest in peace, Rosemary!! Jack Ubik

My deepest sympathy to Rosemary's family. I hope that you will find comfort and peace in the days ahead.

Rosemary was my neighbor for years when we both lived in Irvington. We bonded over a situation in our neighborhood where we helped 2 dogs who were being neglected by another neighbor. Then she became my landlord years later when I leased an apt off Hawthorne. We both shared a love of animals and enjoyed each others' company. Many coffee mornings, good conversations. A very kind soul, peaceful presence. I am so sorry for the family and my heart goes out to you all.

To the Rosemary Brown Family, know that you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers during your loss. To was a classmate of Rosemary, she was a charming person. Sincerely, Debbie Montgomery

So very sad to learn of Rosemary's passing. We were buds in grade school, and I will never forget her gentleness and elfin smile. May your grief be lessened by the love of family and friends.
