Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. 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.

  2. I met Rosemary once and loved her instantly. The wonderful stories I’ve heard from her family it would make you feel you’ve always known her. And her BUNS were the best! What a firecracker she must have been. Our sympathy and love to all.

  3. Rosemary was a sweet soul. Got to visit with her many times at ST. Catherine’s while visiting my Dad there. They were “neighbors”. We also lived in Belfield. My brothers and sisters also had the opportunity to visit with her. All say how sweet she was. I will miss seeing her when visiting Dad. My deepest sympathy, love and prayers for the family. I’m sure you all have beautiful memories to hold close to your hearts.
