Rosemary was one of my Boot Camp sisters many years ago. She was an amazing woman whom I always looked up to. The last time I saw Rosemary was almost 30 years ago in Florida while visiting another one of my Boot Camp sisters. We sure had a great time together. I reconnected with Rosemary on Facebook. I'm so sorry I'll never get to see her again.
Eternal rest grant unto Rosemary O Lord. May Your perpetual light shine upon her and may she rest in peace, amen!

I got to know Rosemary through her volunteer work at the VA medical center. She normally worked on Thursday and I would always make a point to stop and say hello to her when I was there. When I stopped in there this morning I asked where Rosemary was and I got the sad news.
She was a wonderful lady and I will never enjoy my Thursday's at the VA center like I once did. RIP Rosemary, you will be missed.

I was very saddened to hear the news of Rosemary's accident. Rosemary was my cousin and we had reconnected a few years back through Facebook but remember Rosemary sending post cards to my folks keeping in touch of the things she was doing in the Navy. Our family is sending many prayers for Marty and all of the family for peace during this difficult time.
Godspeed and Rest In Peace Rosemary.

Dearest Marty,
I was beyond shocked to learn the news of my dear friend Rose's death. I have such fond memories of our days together in VQ2 Rota Spain. I last saw her when she came to Pax for her reunion for
VXN-8. We had such a nice visit. Any words from me cannot possibly ease the pain you and your families must be experiencing. May God hold all of you in the palm of his hand during this very difficult time.

Dear Marty,
Rose will be so missed by so many. Although I did not see the two of you as much as Rey did I always looked for Rose'e bright smile and positive nature so I could talk to her. I knew she was a special human being from the moment I met her. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are in our prayers.

We were shocked and saddened to hear about Rosemary's passing. Rosemary and I are cousins. Her mother, my Aunt Mary, and my mother were pregnant together. I was born in November and Rosemary in January. Rosemary was a very dependable person, with some very obvious leadership qualities, which made her a great officer in the Navy, and her willingness to serve made her a true asset to the organizations she served. To Marty and all of the Petersens, Jan and I want to send our condolences. We pray for God's presence to bring you comfort and peace in this time of grief.

Dearest Family,
I consider Roemary not only a special "Mercian classmate", but highschool friend and inspiration in a example of "Christ-like" giving, encouragement and inspiration. She was always positive, open and kind. I believe she is with our dear Lord. May you be consoled at this time by Our Lords comfort and peace. Rosemary had a strong faith and may this also help you in this time of grief.
Sincerely,
Former classmate and friend,
Barbara A. Ceru

Rosemary was a dear friend and a blessing to all who knew her. She and Marty were so proud of our son Stephen and followed his Navy career. Our hearts are broken and a piece is missing. RIP dear Rose...

My deepest sympathy for your lost. Rosemary and I were stationed together at VXN-8 in Pax River, Md. I was a maintenance control senior chief during our time together. Rose and I both worked night check. She was a true professional and a joy to work with. Always a smile and a morale booster. We last saw each other during the VXN-8 reunion. She was the same likable person then as she was in the late 80's. Rest in peace Rose, I know your next duty station is in heaven.
