During my formative years at St. Patricks Grade school, I discovered that mothers like Rosemary and my own mom, were the reason why kids turned out so good. They may have stood less than five foot on the outside, but were ten feet tall on the inside. Never a dull moment. May God use them in heaven as effectively as they have served Him on earth. To the Lewis family I extend my sympathies, and my heart-felt gratitude on the many wonderful memories your mother left us all. Now she is united with those she loved. We hold the hope that we may live as full a life as she did.
Rosemary & her late husband, Ted, were a part of my life for 18 years. I worked at Lesco Inc back in the builders hardware area. Ted and ‘Rosie’ as they all called her treated me like part of the family. Sorry I was unable to attend services. Would have like to see the brothers and all of the kids.
So very sorry to hear of your loss of Rosemary. I pretty much grew up with your family since Jean and I were such good friends. She was just always there. She was such a beautiful lady and always smiling I just want you to know how very much she will be missed by all of us. My heart goes out to you. So very sorry I wasnt able to make the services. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
