I was so lucky to have met Rosemary when we lived in WV. She was a very dear friend. Along with another "Rose", we had some wonderful times together.....celebrating over birthdays, dinners, wine, March Madness, and any other happenings we felt warranted a celebration! She was both fun and funny and we shared many great times. I moved to Colorado 14 years ago but we continued to keep in touch through email and visits back to WV. She even let me borrow her car when I was there. Rosemary was always very stylish. On one of my trips back to WV for a conference, I messed up on my packing, and Rosemary gave me an outfit she had grown tired of. I GOT SO MANY COMPLIMENTS on that outfit! I told her she could give me her "tired clothes" ANY TIME! Rosemary was a beautiful person...both inside and outside. She was a wonderful friend and always a joy to be around. Her memory will live on in our hearts forever. Rest in Peace, dear Rosemary. (Although I heard she was doing the happy dance in heaven today over NASCAR!)
