I have been so blessed to have known this beautiful person. Rosemary sincerely enjoyed living. And she had a tremendous capacity for joy and love for her family and friends. We will cherish all of our memories, and miss her fiercely. Thank you Sandi, Jimmy and my loving husband Mark , for sharing her with me as MOM. My Love & Prayers for all who sorrow in this time of parting. Until we meet again. ~Rhonda

My Dear Grandma, Thank you for being the loving person you were to our whole family. Always looking for ways to give to us, even though we have always been so blessed just by having you in our lives. You had a heart of gold, and always made me feel special just by being in your presence. You always meant well and always tried your hardest. I look up to you so much in so many ways. I’ll always remember you by the scripture you had up in your house about love. “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” (1 Corinthians 13:4) You have made such a huge impact on my life, just knowing that this scripture is the absolute truth. You had a kind heart that really understood and were always so loving towards my brother Jason and I. Words truly can not express how much you were loved and how much you are already missed. You are forever my heart. Love, Your “only granddaughter” Mandy

As I reflect on your amazing life, Aunt Ro, I will forever remember you as my tiny Aunt with a huge personality; a tower of strength & determination, wit, intellect & boundless energy! How I enjoyed visits, long letters with beautiful handwriting. Simi visits, non-stop talking on the way to Santa Barbara; long walk & talks, tears & chuckles, with your beloved toy poodle in tow. Hitting the greens, you the mentor, in an attempt to improve my golf game. Our mutual love of dance, thrilling me with stories of you & Uncle Sam, “Astaire & Ginger”. Fun memories of you & Uncle Sam, our trip to Disneyland; Uncle Sam, always the jokester; side-splitting laughter. How can I not include my earliest memory of you belting out a rendition of “Summertime” in grandma’s basement! I hold dear the precious “bunny blanket” you quilted stitched with love for my children. And how you loved your own! Rest In Peace, Aunt Ro, now that you are with Uncle Sam. Know that you are loved & remembered always. Your Loving niece, Patti

Dear Rosemary, I've known you since I was 12 years old. I have prayed for you everyday. You were very spunky and a force for sure. You were here for me when My sister, Marie, passed and I will never forget your kindness. May the perpetual light shine upon you...and may you rest in peace. AMEN

Sandy, Mark and family. I loved your Mom to death. She was always happy and so very kind. One of my fondest memories was going to the swimming pool with she and my sisters Pauline and Anna down over the hill at Uncle Joe’s on Lincoln Avenue. I also liked her rice, she really had the knack for making it creamy. I think she is in her glory being up there with Sam. Thank you all for taking such good care of her.
