I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the family of Rosemarie Hume. I remember ever since I was a little kid I would occasionally see her outside while I was walking home from Waterford-Halfmoon Elementary/High School around 2:30 pm and she would always wave and say hello every time she saw me. She was a very nice woman and she will certainly be missed.

My mother kept a garden,
A garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things,
That gave my life its start.
She turned me to the sunshine,
And encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing,
The seeds of self-esteem.
And when the winds and rains came,
She protected me enough-
But not too much-she knew I'd need,
To stand up strong and tough.
I am my mother's garden.
I am her legacy-
And I hope she always felt her love,
Reflected back from me.

We are sorry for you all - - your mom did an amazing job raising such a great family.

It always felt so good to see Mrs. Hume..., Rose. She had a way that just made you feel special. She and Red always made me feel welcome in their home, whether in the garage watching a ball game, hanging out in their basement, or backed into the corner by her poodle, Fudgie.

She is a warm and wonderful person and it shows in her family. My thoughts are with my friends. I am so sorry for your loss and am deeply, deeply saddened.
