"I absolutely adored Rosemary when she was a member of St. Ann's Adult Day Services. We continued to visit on occasion when I would stop over to visit some friends at Seabury Woods. When I found out Mackenzie was related- it was no shock to me. They both were so caring and always offered a contagious smile. What I loved most about Rosemary was her stylish clothing. She always had a scarf to match. I will miss her and the stories of her from their trip to Ireland. Mackenzie, I know we don't work together anymore, but I would love to send you photos of her if I can find some. Please email me at ksmi0104@yahoo.com so I know where to send them. I hope you are doing okay and will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Sending Hugs, Kristen Smith"

"I have such fond memories of Rosemary. I met her at Seabury Woods. She lived next door to my mom, Lee, and they were great friends. When I think of her I always smile! Rosemary was funny and so kind. I will miss seeing her smiling face when I visit my mom. I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet her!"
