Rosemary fought such a corageous battle. Nothing anyone says will make it better, but knowing she has touched so many lives is such a tribute in itself to her. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

I feel so fortunate to have been Rosemary's friend and classmate at Norwalk Community College. She was the first one to finish every exam we took and we always laughed about that. She taught me alot and I will carry her spirit in me as I begin my nursing career. When we weren't talking about nursing, we were talking about John, David, and dogs. She loved her family and her life. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

To the Ford family:
Rosie will be sadly missed early in the mornings working out at the JCC. She always started the day with a kind word and a smile. On behalf of the "early morning group" please accept our sympathy and know she will be missed.

Dear Ford Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Rosemary will be greatly missed and most fondly remembered. I met her as a sub at SSES and was part of her work out class. She always made me laugh. Her thoughtful gifts of cookies at Holiday time for "her subs" was so nice. She was such a presence at the Elementary School and her spirit will be there forever. I will truly miss her.

John and David, I am so sorry for your loss. May the memories you both have bring you comfort. Rosemary sent me the nicest card when Ben was born in December 2005. She hoped that I would enjoy motherhood with Ben as much as she has enjoyed experiencing it with David. I really enjoyed corresponding with Rosemary via e-mail for the last 18 months. With deepest sympathy, Katie (Tighe) Romig

Dear John and David,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We will always remember Rosemary's sharing of her chocolate treats and recipes, her enthusiasm and determination as she would exercise on the gym's treadmill while studying her nursing textbook, and her love for family and friends. We will always remember her goodness.
Sincerest Condolences,

Dear John and David,
Rosemary was a wonderful person. I recall the first time I met her. When you left I told your Uncle Francis, "that's the girl for John." He agreed 100%. Over the years I use to talk to Rosemary a lot on the phone. John and David, I loved Rosemary. David, this is a huge loss for you especially at your young age. She loved you David, so so much. Pray to her David for she will always be there to help you. Jim told me that he wants the two of you to come down here for a visit. PLEASE DO THAT IF YOU CAN. It would be so wonderful to see both of you. All my LOVE FOREVER AND FOREVER. Aunt Marian.

Dear David and John,
I have wonderful such memories of Rosemary. From the very first time that she came into the Staples office, David, every word she spoke revealed how very much she loved and cared about you. I liked to hear about how you were doing after you left SSES and she would tell me little stories about this or that. I'll never forget the pride in her eyes or the smile when she would tell me these stories! I can't be there, but just wanted you to know how much I appreciated Rosemary. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. With Love,

Dear John and David,
I am so sorry for your loss.
I have to tell you that the first time I met Rosemary was in the summer of the year I started working at HKMS. I had to go over to SSES to delivery something, and Rosemary was the first person I saw when I got there. She was so kind and caring and helped me greatly, as I was new to the system and didn't know my way around.
I will always remember her for that.
Please take comfort in knowing that she was helpful and kind to all people, and she will be missed.
Sincerely,
Joan Csizmadia, HKMS

Rosemary,
You have touched us all in so many ways. For years you have dedicated yourself to the survivors at the Relay For Life of Fairfield. It was such a gift to be part of your space. I will carry with me two terrific memories....You walking into the auditorium at the beginning of Relay season, beaming, having just been to the "Look Good, Feel Better" program! The second is how, during a visit with you in the rehab center, Allie, our black lab learned to "wave goodbye". I know how much you loved your labs.... We call it the Rosemary Wave now.
We will miss you and forever be touched by your gifts....
