I just learned of Rosemary's death today, 5/8. Richard, I am so saddened to hear this news, and I am so sorry for your loss. I have not gotten to see her often since we worked together, but she has been in my thoughts often both during her illness and of memories of our good times shared in the past. She was a wonderful supervisor who taught me so much, but more importantly, she was a good friend. Her smile and hugs were priceless!

Danny and I are sorry to hear of the passing of Rosie. We continue to be thankful the friendship she gave to Judy during their joint cancer fight, and the continued contact you have had with Jay following Judy's passing. May you receive the comfort you all so unselfishly gave to others during your own struggle.

I am so sorry to hear of Rosemary's passing. I was one of the little kids in our new neighborhood in Gibsonburg in the 50s. We played in the dirt by the new houses being built and had great fun. Pamela Williams

Richard,
I am at a loss for words. I am very sorry for your loss. Rosemary's determined spirit and beautiful attitude will be missed here. She was a beautiful woman, inside and out. You and Rosemary are my NC parents and I will miss my NC mom deeply. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I first met Rosemary and Richard at the Quest for Life gym. Rosemary's happy, upbeat, smiling personality was so infectious. I always enjoyed our chats. She surprised me with a huge hug and smiles in one our local stores during her recovery. She looked so good I didn't recognize her at first. Richard, if you read this, I am so proud of you for the beautiful tribute to Rosemary at the funeral. Your talk and beautiful rendition of " The Old Rugged Cross" on the piano was a very emotional event for me. I'm sure Rosemary was looking down at you with that big beautiful smile of hers. God Bless you and your family.

My sincere condolences to Rosemary's family. After high school, I believe I only saw her one time. She still had her warm, full of sunshine smile! I am happy to see she enjoyed love and life full of family, carrying for others, and living life to its fullest. Although saddened by her loss, I am happy to know she is pain free and watching over her family and friends from above. May wonderful memories of her smile, love, and passion for life fill the hearts of her family to ease the pain of your loss. God bless.

To Richard and family,
I attended school with Rosemary all 12 grades in Gibsonburg and graduated with her. I am so very sad to hear of her illness and passing. She was a incredibly gifted person with a wonderful personality. We were sad last summer when she was too ill to attend our 50th reunion. Please know you all are in my thought s and prayers at this most difficult time.
