Although I never had the privilege of knowing Ms Rosemary personally, I along with countless other Kentucky Baptists have been blessed through her faithful Christian witness and commitment to raise her children in the Lord. Eric Allens faithful ministry to KBC churches over these many years is lasting fruit of Rosemarys ministry as a mother.

Mrs. Rosemary made a lasting impact on my family and me when we lived in Somerset, KY. She was certainly a precious soul. I specifically remember talking about Auburn football with her- she knew that was my team, and she always kept up with the games so we could discuss on Sunday! I know her soul is at peace today! Prayers for her family!

I will always have great memories of my Aunt Rosie. She was always kind and considerate of everyone. She was tough when she needed to be be but never with harsh words. It was a blessing to know her

A great mother, and even better grandmother, and the very best great grandmother. You are one of a kind and will sorely be missed. All my love.
