I came to the site in May to register my profound sadness at Rosemary's death, and to offer my support in any way, to you James and the boys.

I extend my most heartfelt compassion to Rosemary's family in this difficult time.

Rosemary: you always carried an aura of joy and extended a feeling of happiness to those around you. My mood was always lifted by your presence. I am sure that will continue within our memories of you. Love Forever

James, Liam and Dylan, take comfort in knowing that Rose was right where she wanted to be, with her 3 men. She didn't care about what mountain she didn't climb or what country she didn't see. It was time with the special people in her life that mattered to her. I have always been in awe of Rose, her contentment, compassion, sensitivity, intensity, artistic ability, insightfulness, and unconditional love for us. She influenced all of our lives, making us look at who we really are and who we want to be. Rose will be in my favourite songs, in my quiet moments, in the faces and actions of her sons, in the memories of my growing years, in the person I strive to be. She was my refuge from the storm and now she has found her refuge from the pain. Rose was loved beyond words.

Love, Marlene
