Dear Amaral/Townend Famly,

Rosemary: I see her still, drinking her strongly perked coffee in her kitchen, petting and preening her beloved cats, planting, weeding and pruning in her precious gardens, flailing her arms about to match her unique impressions of life, and keeping us all in stitches at our family gatherings. She will not be forgotten because of her wit, her zest for life, and her love for the family are imbedded, and reinterpreted through our very own bodies.

In thinking of you we will always remember your smile, witty comments, strength of character, devotion to your cats and love for your family. You were a unique individual and lived your life as you saw fit and not as others would have you live it. Your passing has left a void in our lives and the best we can do is to share remembrances of you amongst ourselves over the coming years. We take comfort in knowing that one day we will all be together again. Until that time we will hold the memory of you close within our hearts. With all our love to you Mom / Nanny, John, Sue, Kristen & Michael

My sincerest sympathy to you all at this very sad time. I will always remember Rosemary as my friend, and confidant ever since the day we first met. Rosemary’s spirit consistently lit up the room, and brought joy to many. May God Bless Her, and Keep Her Always in His Arms.

Our deepest condolences. Please know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow and loss. It is never easy to lose a loved one. However, Rosemary is now in the loving arms of the Lord for all eternity in the Kingdom of Heaven above. Our prayers go out to you and your family.

My deepest sympathy.

Dear Susan and family, I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. May you cherish the special memories and know you are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Colleen XO
