Rosemary will always be in my heart…my dearest friend. So many memories. She was my family for 40 years.
A great lady!
Thinking of you with love during this sad time.
There is never a day that goes by that a thought or story of Rosemary pops into my head. I just loved driving around and listening to all her adventures! She always made me laugh! She was so proud of her family. She lit up ever time she spoke of each one of you! I will miss all her wonderful words of wisdom!!!
Sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. Rosemary was in our aqua aerobics class and she was so much fun!
Macey, so sorry to hear of your loss. Sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Love and comfort to you and your family. She was a joy.
Fifty year’s of friendship, but we always had more to talk about and
remember. I will miss and love you forever.
I’m so sorry to hear of Rosemary’s passing. She was a joy and will be remembered fondly.
I was sorry to read about Rosemary but so thankful that you put a notice in the Rockport paper. I have wondered about her for years. Stan and I bought her darling house here and I thank our lucky stars (and her) every day. I know they both were happy here and we will be forever in her debt. My condolences to your family.
Many great memories of Rosemary and Bob at races in Corpus. Rosemary always had great stories of her life with Bob and her family. My condolences to her family.
So sad. I spent alot of time at Rosemary and Bobs home in San Antonio along with quite a few other sports car idiots. Beans and cornbread and caring were always available. Have not kept in touch with her since she left Texas and I now feel the loss magnified.
