Dear Tommy,

My thoughts have been with you since I saw news of Rosemary's passing. It said that you all had been together for 29 years. It is so hard to believe that much time has passed since we were all in band together. What a wonderful, carefree time that was. My heart goes out to you. May the love of God and friends support you during this difficult time. Take care.

Sincerely,
Anne Birdsong Anderson

Dear Tom,
Lisa and I are so sorry to hear of Rosemary's passing. I hope you are doing alright. Lisa was real upset and kept saying, "she was so strong and seemed to being doing so good, I just kept thinking she was going to be ok." It is a real tribute to Rosemary in how strong she was and how she faced adversity. She fought the good fight and we can take consolation in the fact her struggle on this earth is over and she is now in a much better place. I am so glad we were able to get together for a couple of camping trips this year. I really meant alot to Lisa and I to spend some time with both of you. God bless you and the family. We will see you soon.

I had not seen or even thought about Rosemary in quite some time. I especially remember her in our dance class. Rosemary was one of the Best dancers and she did it with ease. I thought of her as a friend and am I very sorry for everyone's loss. John, you and your family are in my prayers and thoughts.

I went to school with Rosemary and I was always jealous of her being so smart!! She always had the answer and when she raised her hand I would think, there she goes again, having the answer, and she'd always be right! She was also a bit of a tattle tale, she liked getting some of us into trouble, and she knows that! I will NEVER forget Rosemary raising her hand all the time in class, she had a way of putting that pen in between her fingers, I mastered it by watching her! I am shocked and saddened by her passing, I truly send my love and gratefulness to your family and will always be thankful for having her in my life. She was rather an inspiration to me - she taught me to be organized and to have things... right. One thing I never knew was that she only had one d in her last name, shame on me, I always wrote those notes to her as Rosemary Rudd... I will miss you my rival young friend - Merripaige Koren

Tommy, John, & family. So sorry to hear of Rosemary's passing. Hadn't seen her in quite a while but did enjoy a phone conversation a few years ago after one of our class reunions. May God give you strength during these times. You all are in my prayers. Lewis

Dear Tom,
I am so sorry to hear of Rosemary's passing. I know I only met her a few times, but she was in my thoughts and prayers over the last few years. Tom, always remember the good times you and Rosemary shared. If there is anything I can do for you please call. Even if it is just to need some one to talk too.(469-7654) Tom, you are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and he is with you during this time. You are not alone.
Always your friend, Kerry Buffalow Shell

Dear Tommy and Rosemary's father and brother, I am so sad to hear of Rosemary's death. Though I had not seen Rosemary in quite a few years, I have fond memories of her during our High school years together. I know you will all miss her and I hope you can find comfort in fond memories and knowing that she is in a peaceful, beautiful place, HEAVEN! Tommy, you were a special person to her. I am thinking of you ! Sincerely, Susan
