My "White Hair Granny" I will miss her dearly.. I will keep her in my memories and heart forever.. She always had a smile and kisses ready for me when I walked in the door.. She was very kind and soft spoken. She ever so loved working in her yard and looking over the flowers.. She also loved to eat out and see her friends when they were out and about.. She got to see her 5 great gransons born and held each one with many kisses for them as well.. She always knew we loved her.. I remember when my papa' was in his last days, coming into the room where I was tending to him and buffing his toe nails she would smile and rub his head and tell him how much she loved him and I would laugh and say Papa when you go to meet Jesus your feet are going to be ever so pretty and soft.. She would just giggle.. They are now both in Heaven and when its my time to go home I will get to see them there awaiting my kisses and smiles. I love you my "white hair granny and papa" and cant wait to see you again.. Thank you for loving me and my family...
Love
~Hope~

Rosemary was a wonderful person who touched many lives. She was greatly loved by all of her family. I had the great pleasure of knowing her through my marriage to her oldest grandson. We will miss her dearly. We are glad that she was arround long enough to see the births of five great grandson's. Two of which, Van & Aiden, whom were just born in the last several months. She loved each and every one of them very much. Her three year old great grandson Blake was very close to Granny. We have had a hard time explaining to him why she is not back in her bed room. He looks for her every night to give her kisses before going off to bed.

We sat behind Rosemary at the 5:00 mass and enjoyed knowing her this past several years. She always made us feel welcomed and looked for us each week. We missed her this past Saturday and have kept her in our prayers. Due to prior committments we can not make either service.
