Rosemary was a large part of my spiritual life for many years. She was my prayer partner. I can still hear her singing. She had a beautiful voice and she could bring a song to life! She taught my children at the Christian academy and in the youth group. She and Larry made an indelible impact upon their lives. In short, she was nothing but pure blessing, pure love and a perfect example of God’s mercy and grace. I have many fond memories. Larry, John, Jason, grandchildren and loved ones. Though this is a difficult time, You can rejoice knowing that she spending time at the feet of Jesus and singing with the heavenly host.

Larry, John, Jason, grandkids and extended family, Rosemary was definitely one of a kind. Such a sweetheart of a person and very sincere. She is now a complete person again and walking with her Savior. Larry, you should have no regrets, you took wonderful care of her. Treasure all your memories and know that one day you will be reunited!

I remember Rosemary from our time together in school in Bridge City. She was sweet and energetic and everyone seemed to like her. So happy to hear she was serving our Lord so faithfully. I can just imagine Rosemary dancing in the spirit before the throne of God now. Prayers for her family...she sure doesn’t need them anymore!

Rosemary and I shared so many good times in high school and there are many of those memories replaying in my mind this morning. She was genuinely one of the sweetest girls around, always with a kind word and a beautiful smile. She was definitely a blessing to all who knew her. May God’s peace surround you.
