Dear Susan and family, I offer my condolences on the passing of your sister, Rosemary. Her remarkable career and devotion to friends, friends and community is a tribute to her personal convictions. I feel fortunate to have been a bridge partner and guest of Rosemary, enjoying luncheons and wonderful conversation. Ace that she was, she always won.

May you rest in peace, dear Rosemary. Your memory will be cherished by those of us who remember the fun and laughs we had. As the years passed I thought of how proud The Speaker was of his family - and the many dinners we enjoyed. Respected by all who knew you, I know you will never be forgotten.
