My sympathies to all of the Lambert family and your extended family. Although we grew up next door it was in the past years when I returned to N. 12th to care for my Mom (2007) that Rose Mary and I became such good friends. We had wonderful talks, I loved seeing her projects , we talked gardening and she taught me so much about gardening, too. She was so supportive and so very kind. When I made return visits to Wisconsin after we both left the neighborhood we always got together for a visit. I will truly miss her. Much love to you all.

I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Rose Mary. With our families growing up next door to each other on 12th St., I have so many fond memories of your family. In later years, whenever I visited my mom, I would see Rose Mary too, and catch up on her family news. I always admired her many creative projects, be they quilting, knitting, gardening, or so many other things she did. She was always busy! I will miss her very much. My sympathies to all your family.

"Auntie Rose"
For the last 22 years. Your kindness, love, and genuine consideration, meant SO much.
I had always looked forward to seeing you at family gatherings in Silver Creek park, or just seeing you at the grocery store.
You had a impeccable smile that could light up a room, and your hugs were so heartfelt. I will cherish the conversations we shared. I will miss you SO very much. Rest in peace "Beautiful Lady". With a very heavy heart. I send my sympathies to Don (Ann), Mark (Kay), Cheri & Shelly
Until we meet again...

I have very fond memories of our cousin, Rose Mary, and all of her family during our growing up years on the farm when she and her children and the cousins would come to visit the "home farm." Rose Mary watched out for Mom, living across the street from her on 11th St. Maybe Rose Mary introduced Mom to Fred and Emma, whose upstairs apartment Mom rented for a good number of years. I have one of Rose Mary's prayer shawls, a fond remembrance. Rest in peace, Rose Mary, as family members welcome you into heaven.
