Im so heartbroken to hear about Rosemaries passing. I have known her for a few years now and she was one of the sweetest people Ive ever met. My thoughts and prayers will be with her family.

We never had the honor of meeting Rosemarie, but anyone who can raise a daughter like Dawn must have been a truly special woman. Our thoughts are with everyone who loved her.

It is such a shock that Rosemarie is gone. I served with her over a number of years on about a dozen retreats. I always looked forward to encountering her warm, pleasant and down-to-earth demeanor. We often had time to chat about our common interests of traveling (if I understood it correctly I think she rode a camel on one of her most recent adventures) and fishing (she often reminisced about fishing in the Florida Keys, encouraging me to get myself down there). It really made an impression upon me how Rosemarie described her relationship with her grandson, how even though he was in his teenage years or beyond, they still held a special bond and treasured their time together cooking and talking. Rosemarie also impressed me with how much she loved the rest of her family and how she celebrated where their lives took them. We will truly miss Rosemarie. I hope that she is catching a big one in heaven!

Being a friend of her daughter Dawn, (we were prosecutors together) - I never had the pleasure of meeting her mom but I know how much Dawn's family meant to her. Wishing all of you comfort and grace during this difficult time.
