Rosemary was a wonderful person–she and I were very good friends–didn’t visit too much in later years, but I always knew she was there for me. I will miss her greatly. I am recovering from knee surgery, so I will be unable to attend the services, but my thoughts and prayers will be with you. Love to all–Copey Agnes
You are a dear friend and I will miss you more than words can say.
I was fortunate enough to know and love Rosemary at the Veteran’s Home. I will sincerely miss her.
