Hey Peta, I still can't believe you're gone ! Although we had not spent much time together on the past 4 years, we did have a lot fun in Sanibel for many years, along with Miminha and all the kids. We even thought that someday you would actually become the Mayor of Sanibel, since everybody knew you and vice versa. Childhood memories of when you guys came to Rio will never disappear from my memory. The parties at Tia's house around the kitchen island will never be forgotten. I' m still having a hard time accepting your departure , but I can not imagine how Bruce, Melissa, Joshua and Gabby feel now that you are gone ! Love Cuz.

Gabi, Josh, Melissa and Bruce, I know no one could ever have expressed so much love and compassion as Rosemery always did. She was a very special mother and friend. She will be dearly missed and always in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Delima-Goldman-Kurz Family;
George and I were so saddened to hear this news. I first met Rosemary back in 1986 while working in downtown Miami. Both graduates of Florida International University's School of Hospitality Management, we relished in entertaining, cooking and developing our challenging careers. We shared so many great times with the family at parties, family dinners and the holidays. We shared cooking, decorating and parenting ideas over several decades. She was a beautiful, vivacious smart woman. I learned about Brazilian culture and shared my 'Native Floridian" culture with her. My whole family was always welcomed into the Delima home for any special event. Rosemary was known to us as "Wonder Woman". The name came from a beautiful red dress she wore at my home at my birthday party in 1992. The name personifies who she was as a parent, friend, wife and business woman. Sincerely Deirdre Dunnigan-Kelly, George, Ryan and Darsey Kelly

I cannot express the sorrow I feel for all of you. She was a great mom and wife and more importantly person. Sorry I will probably not be able to make it today but know I feel for you all.

Dear Gabi, Joshua, and Melissa,
I had the grat pleasure of getting to know your mom during your years at Alexander Montessori (my kids were there too). We worked on lots of APA events together (carnival, the dinner dance) and she always brought fun and hilarity to the table! I continue to remember her as a smart, vivacious woman ALWAYS full of energy who loved her family and loved being your mom- we shared many conversations about the joys and challenges of parenting- and she was proud of all three of you. When my eye caught her name in the Herald, I knew this was my friend because I saw the names I heard her talk about so many times: Josh, Gabi, and Melissa. I willl keep your family in my thoughts and wish you peace.
