Rosemary was my real Godmother and seemed like a fairy Godmother to me. She was my Mom’s best childhood friend and cousin. Coincidentally, she passed on the same date as my Mom, but 28 years apart! Like someone said, Best friends reunited! She always welcomed me with open arms and sent me home with baked goods and small gifts that I knew she’d cherished years before. What a JOY to reread her letters from years ago and I know that when she wrote “God Bless You, Cindy and I love you”, signed “Your Godmother, Rosemary” it came straight from her heart. My deepest sympathy to her family and all who loved her.
Debbie Kroshus and the Ouellette family.

I am 97 years old and Rosemarys brother. we grew up on the farm near Langdon. when we were kids we walked to the contry school one and a half west of the farm . it was five years before our brother Paul was born so we had a special bond between us. I always said I didnt have a big brother but I had a big sister to look after me . we always had that special feeling between us. church was always importment for her and I believe she is getting herreward now.
My heartfelt sympathy to Joe, Pat and all the extended families. I always enjoyed visiting with Rosemary at the DQ. Think of you guys often.
Our sincere condolences to Pat and Keith and families…I always enjoyed visiting with your Mom at Queen of Peace in Dickinson. She was a warm, friendly face always.
