Rosemary E. (Giordano) Peterson

I was Rosemarys buddy through the Alzheimer's Buddies program at Gordon College. I was with her the first day she was at The Atrium at Veronica drive all the way to oosterman's where your family was gracious enough to let me continue to visit her weekly. I couldn't bring myself to search her name as knowing she passed would be very painful. I loved her with my whole heart and she brightened every week for me. I started calling her mama and bringing her naked goods I would make. I celebrated...

Dear Christine and family. What a beautiful tribute to your Mom! I see her beautiful face and remember her so vividly ! She was a great lady and Mom to your family . That smile! Sending loving thoughts and prayers to you all.

If I was adding a memory, it would take up pages and pages. Your mother and father were such an important part of our lives. We had many happy times with you all. Thoughts and prayers with you, especially Joel.

I wish to offer all of you my most sincere sympathy on the loss of your Mother. She was a lovely woman and a remarkable human being. Sincerely, Mrs. Paul Tighe

Rosemary was one of my best friends for nearly fifty years. She and I began a La Leche League Group, each in our respected communities at about the same time.

Tony and I are sending our thoughts and prayers to all of you. We share such wonderful memories of the years we raised our family in Melrose and, especially, the activities we were involved in with Joel and our son David.
