Amazing how the years roll along, but there is no way I could ever forget you RoseMarie. You were there when I needed you the most in what to do with a cat colony I loved. You were the one who first taught me about TNR and its processes. I can't thank you enough.

Rosemarie, you are dearly missed here in Spokane.

I am so deeply saddened by the loss of this precious lady. Rosemarie and I had crossed paths around 11 years ago when she stepped up to help me care/trap and teach me about feral cat colonies. She also stepped up to try to help me with the challenging humans that made themselves involved. She was a 'take charge' kind of gal, and she was exactly the type of person I needed. God sent her, I have no doubts. My heart is broken to know she is no longer here. I know God is smiling at her saying 'well done good and faithful servant'. May you rest in peace Rosemarie.
