Rosemarie was such a kind and beautiful soul. She will be deeply missed. Many prayers for His unfailing comfort and peace.
May God hold all your hands tight as you travel this difficult path. It’s all about survival initially but the secret and whatRo would want is not for you to survive but to live. So be patient with yourself on this journey and know that the pain eases in time but the memories only grow stronger

Rosemarie came to my Yoga classes at Southeastern Fitness for many years (2000 – 2008), and she continued to come during the original diagnosis, surgeries, and treatment. She was such an inspiration! Her strength, courage, and loving heart brought a luminous presence to the group. She brightened many lives, including my own, and her zest for life in all its forms will linger in my memory for years to come. May your grief over the loss of this precious lady soon be replaced with beautiful memories that bring you to a place of peace. Bless…Donna Pratt
