Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for you loss. She was a wonderful person.

Mrs. O´Dowd was an angel on earth to so many. When I was a student athlete at Mainland, she supported and encouraged with such pride and love. Years later she supported my family during the passing of my dad, Dennis. She was a Eucharistic minister, friend, and peaceful presence when most needed. May her love and reminders of her loving ways, be felt as you remember her beautiful life on earth.

With deepest sympathy and love. Think of your family so often. Warmly, Fran

Rosemary and I met at CDA meetings, I truly miss her and our long phone calls getting together with her and laughing and just enjoying her sweet smile and personality. I wish I could have been able to visit her during her Illness , she will always be in my thoughts and Prayers. She loved everyone but most of all she Loves Our Lord , May the Angels Lead her to Paradise! Her entire family is in my Prayers .

Rosemary is the reason I work at Mainland Regional High School. One day I walked into the athletic office to enquire about a coaching position. She marched me down to the superintendent's office and told him to hire me as a teacher and coach. After a few interviews I was hired and have enjoyed every day since. Rosemary was such an important figure at Mainland as a voice of reason, as an advocate for teachers and students, and always for a kind word of support. I will always be grateful...

Truly one of the most wonderful people to ever walk the halls of Mainland Regional. Always cared about the students and her co-workers. Rest in peace Mrs. O'Dowd.

Sending warm love and prayers to the O´Dowd family! May you cherish all the love and memories you have with Mrs. O´Dowd. She was the kindest most genuine lady with a big heart and even bigger faith! Rest easy Mrs O´Dowd

Mrs. O´Dowd was never anything but wonderful to me, always pleasant and caring and endlessly funny. She was a welcoming face at every community event and will be so dearly missed.

To my adopted O'Dowd family.....I will always remember Ma Rose as one of the most angelic people I have ever met....she certainly gained her wings with much grace and a heart full of love for all that knew her.....know that my heart is broken, but - our wild Irish Rose is finally pain-free and at peace....I Love You All......
