Recollections & Sympathy For the Family
Post Comment
Rosemary was my best friend. We first met at Our Lady of the Elms College while signing up for classes, and we remained close friends for almost 40 years. We knew each other's lives inside and out...as we often talked for hours until the early morning hours.
I think of her everyday and miss her tremendously.
Rosemary was a generous and caring person with a big heart.
She will never be forgotten.

Darryl,
I did not know Rosemary, but had I, and had you and she been at all alike (which sounds like the case), she would have been among the finest people I have known. Please accept, and extend to your entire family, my sympathy for the loss of your sister, whom I am sure you all love very, very much.
