It's been many years since I saw Rosemary, but I remember her as a loving, caring person with a wonderful spirit. The world has lost a bright spirit. My deepest sympathies to Jack & to her family.

It's been a long time since I last saw Rosemary but we worked (volunteered, mostly) together, caring for animals of course. What a warm heart she had. At the end my last day at that job I took my kids to the Humane Society to take a look at a 'stray' 4 week old puppy Rosemary thought we would like. We of course did, and Teddy was a beloved family member and my little buddy for 20 years. Rest in peace, Rosemary. Sincere condolences to all.

She was a good friend, whom I will miss. She was extremely knowledgable about dogs and cats.
