I am so sorry for your loss.
I have no words. I will miss Rosemary. I know I am a better person for having known her. She was a very sweet, loving person. I am grateful for her kind spirit and loving nature.
I hope she is peaceful now💜💜💜
Rosemary was a strong, beautiful both inside and out. . She made a room light up with her smile. I still can see her dancing and singing along to Italian songs at weddings or parties . Memories that will last forever. Now you are at peace and I’m sending my thoughts and prayers to families.

I just learned of Rosemary’s death. I knew her since I was a young girl and she is a person I will never forget. The memory of her makes me smile. I am glad that I had the pleasure of knowing her.
