Rosemary Torrence

I miss Rosie. I remember her saying when I was sick and she came over with some food... She said "Holly if someone offers you help, take it! " and another thing she told me sometime before ... "don´t take it personal". I do miss her. I thought of her recently when I was looking through old cards from her that she didn´t sign... she wanted me to reuse them, send them forward, so she didn´t sign them! and I have a pair of earrings that she gave me in a gift exchange. I miss her.

I taught with Rosie at St. Colman's. She was a dynamo, lots of good energy. And from what I've heard a master of keeping teenaged boys in line. She was a special friend of my son the year he was at St. Ed's. I am out of country, but will remember her in my prayers tomorrow.

Rosemary was a delight during our years at St. Joseph Academy. Heaven will welcome her with open arms. Marianne Booms Szabo, Class of '63.

We have fond memories of Rosie from the years together at St. Malachi. I always enjoyed her sense of humor and her passion for learning.

Will miss my aunt. I talked to her years ago when my son went to Saint Ed´s. Lost contact with her. Miss her and that side of the family.

Dearest family, we loved meeting Rosie at many events and found her witty and charming. We know her loss will leave a gap in the lives of many. Sending love and caring condolences.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I´ve known Rosie for many years. More recently we were in a prayer group together that she organised some 15 years ago. She had spunk. She liked birds. She liked gardening; she loved to cook. She liked to entertain people. She always brought us Christmas cookies! She had a good, easy, laugh and she was an encouraging person. I´m going to miss her.

I was shocked to read of Rosie's death. She was an amazing woman. I had the privilege and honor to serve with Rosie for three years in the Theology Department of St. Ignatius High School in the early 70's. She was fun, talented, devoted to her students and somewhat irreverent. I went on to Trinity High School and Rosie to St. Eds. We met several times over the years. I did not know that she was ill. Her suffering is done and I am sure that she, who witnessed to the Gospel for so many...
