Rosie used to babysit for us when we were children. We adored her and I connected again as an adult. She always said I love you and meant it. She had a heart of gold and was and is a beautiful soul. My sincere condolences to her family. May she rest in his glory.

Just found out of your loss. Was heartbroken to hear about Ro. My thoughts went back to our
Times getting together for game nights. Can still hear her laughing. Telling us at one time or another,you can’t do that. Or she would say ,how did you do that. Those were good times that
I am so so glad I still remember. George, get yourself a red solo cup fill it with your favorite
drink, and give a toast to Ro. You all stay healthy and safe. May she rest in peace. I will end with this : Go Rams, and Go Pack Go!!!

I am so very sorry to hear that Rosemary has passed away. We went to school together in Mendham. She was a good friend to me. She came to visit me back in 2017 when she visited California to see the whales and enjoy the coast. Our time together catching up on all the years of growing up in Mendham was a real blessing. She had a heart full of love for her family. I am so sad to know she has passed, but hope and pray her spirit is living in eternity! Amen.
