I am very sorry to hear of Rosemary’s death. We were in the same club at Ursuline for 4 years. I have fond memories of pajama parties at her home on Colonial Dr. and enjoying chocolate ice cream with marshmallow sauce. Her parents were so welcoming and we had wonderful times. I will pray for Rosemary and her family. Jacci Thomas Asbury
