The years just seem to fly by. I think of Ro often. She was really a good friend during grammar and high school. I am sure she is still missed but she will never be forgotten.

To this day I am still saddened ,and in a way in a state of denial she has passed. We were so fun together. We have so many secrets . I look at the Moon and think of "Roe". Thoughts of her make me smile and sad at same time. She was so intelligent and caring. She married her prince and found a life she deserved. I loved "Roe". Just knowing she's not out there smiling makes me sad. She was a very special person. Priss

Dear Bill
It's always a shock when someone you know passes on. Dot and I only met Ro on the Reunion Cruise, but when you spend your formative years at 18 and 16 Belmont Avenue, one result of her passing is a flood of especilly nice memories from the 'hood'. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
With deepest sympathy,

Dear Bill,
I was totally shocked by the news of Rosemarie's passing. I'll always remember Ro and her wonderful smile and glow. She was a dear friend and wonderful person. She was a classmate that always brought a smile to my face. She touched a lot of people.
I'll never forget our chance meeting at Disney World a number of years ago. Both of you hadn't changed a bit!
Ro will always be in my prayers.
God bless.

Bill, we are crushed to hear about your sad and terrible loss. During our years in London, we developed a love for Rosemarie and you that time and distance cannot erase. Rosemarie always had the most beautiful smile on her face and enjoyed life to the fullest. Travelling around Europe with you two was the highlight of our time in the UK. Our prayer is that God will comfort you and Billy and his family
Love, Nadeen and Tom

Bill and family,
I met Rosemarie when you moved to London. This was a time when we all lived a long way from our homes. A long way from our family and friends. We all became close in a very special way! We really depended on eachother. Rosemarie had that great big smile. Those beautiful dimples. She touched everyone that she met!
Jack and I will miss her and Bill you are always welcome to come visit us.
Fondly,
Vicki and Jack Sanders
