Just rec'd this info this week. So sorry that I didn't see it sooner as I would have been to visitation and the funeral. I worked with Rosemary in Installation Services for a number of years. Met Sean & Stacy years ago. She was such a character and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her! Have many fond and funny memories. I'm so sorry for your loss.
God Bless,
Linda Felkner Preskar
