My first real interaction with Rosemary was a significant one. She helped us plan my Father´s (Bill Kelly) funeral in 2011.
I would occasionally see Rosemary and Don at church. They would always stop to say hello to my sister, Mary Beth, and her husband, Fred, before leaving church. When we were there with them, she always had a welcoming smile for us.
May she Rest In Peace and may Don and the family find solace in remembering the love she poured out on them her entire life. Sending our condolences and prayers.
Christine (Kelly) and Gary Jacoby (Bill & Shirley Kelly´s daughter and her husband.)
