My name is Gwenivere, my world became a little smaller, when Rosemary left. My colorful, smart, friend. We spent many enchanted evening parties, where she was the sparkling center .
God bless you, Rosemary, as you did me w your friendship.

When I first met Rosemary it was in the late 90s. She was lying in the road under her jeep looking for a hidden key because the other was locked inside. I was worried she'd get run over. She came into our pottery studio and became a steady customer for years. Rest in peace. A true talent for certain!
