When I joined Lerners in 1997, Rosemary was one of those senior staffers who was ready to mentor, answer questions and support a newcomer but what I shall remember most of is Rosemary's unfailing loyalty and commitment to her responsibilities as well as the devotion and pride towards her family. God Bless and take your rest Rosemary....your family will be in my thoughts and prayers

I met Rosemary when I started at Lerners in 2000 and we became friends quickly. She was always eager to help me, even with the small things. We have continued being good friends over the years and I will miss her. She was a great lady. She talked about her sons endlessly and was very proud of them and her beautiful grandchildren. She will be missed by many. I will remember Rosemary fondly. She and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rosemary worked with me for John Kennedy in the late 80's - early 90's. I have many fond memories of our many years together at Lerners. We shared many stories about our families. She was a wonderful person and friend. I last saw her in the spring at our "Oldtimers Dinner." She looked wonderful - I will cherish that last memory of her. My sincere condolences go out to you J.R, Chris and Dwight and to your families - I know you will miss her dearly. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rosemary was a very dear and precious friend. Family was everything to her..... Jordan, Chris and Dwight, her stories when you were little are hilarious. The teenage years...... let me say she made me laugh. Your Mother was very proud of all your accomplishments. From the Rodeo days to the awesome meals her boys prepared for her. To your fascinating careers. She was a proud Mother. She loved her boys, so happy to finally have daughters when you married. And her grandchildren were very dear to her. It was my pleasure to work with your Mom for 25 years. My rock, my dear friend, who I will miss every day. She impacted my life in many ways and I want to say thank you for sharing your Mom with me. It was a privilege to know her and call her my friend. Until We Meet Again...... Love You Rosemary.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Rosemary's passing. She was so looking forward to her retirement which, sadly, has been cut very short. Rosemary did a wonderful job raising her boys, and they were her world. She proudly kept us informed of their pursuits, from rodeo riders to working abroad and becoming husbands and fathers. She was truly excited when they made her a grandmother. I'll always think of Rosemary in her line dancing days - she got a real "kick" out of that. Rosemary was a gentle soul - may the Lord bless her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this very sad and difficult time.

My heartfelt condolences go out to all of Rosemary's family. She was very proud of you all and talked of you often. I'll miss her face at our dinner gatherings but know she will be with us in spirit. I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with her both in the office and out. I shall miss her dearly.

JR, Angela, Chris, Kelly, Shorty, Stacy, my heart goes out to you and your families during this sad and most difficult time. Rosemary was a devoted Mother, Grandma and loyal confidant who will forever hold a special place in my heart, as will her family. You know you're Mother and I would talk on the phone for hours about everything, especially how wonderful it was that our boys were able to connect with devoted wives and to finally have grandchildren. She was very proud of her boys and their families with good reason - They are everything and more that all mother's dream of having. Rosemary was smart, funny, and a compassionate friend who could always share a good story, whether it was about her court reporter days; the great times she had with all her boys at the rodeo; the experiences during family vacations in the motor home; good times around the fire pit and we can't forget the hot tub. :o) Rosemary worked relentlessly all her life and looked forward to retirement that has been cut much too short. Your Mother was one special lady who is smiling with pride on her family and everyone who loved her and touched her life. She will be remembered affectionately and greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

Dear Roberts Family: We wish to express our profound sympathy for the loss of your Mother, Rosemary, who is also our dear cousin. In the early years we spent much time with her, and, of course, your grandmother, May. We visited Rosemary when she was a young mother and you boys were just babies, and we watched her feed you seated in your high chairs, all in a row, and marvelled at how she managed this skill. Besides being a great Mom, Rosemary was always top of her classes in high school, and was recruited right out of school to work for the courts as a court transcriber. She excelled at that as she did in her other professional endeavours. Your grandmother, May, and your great aunt Edie were a constant in our family, as they were our Mother's sisters, Millie Walker, recently deceased. The three of them travelled together and visited often, when they could. Sometimes families drift apart. Years often pass without realizing how important people are in our lives, until such a time as this. Please take comfort in knowing that Rosemary was so well loved, thought of, and will be remembered in our hearts, always. In Sympathy, Lynn, Joanne, and Nancy Walker

My heart is filled with sadness and an indescribable feeling of loss. My deepest sympathies to all family members. Rosemary was like a mother to me and opened her loving heart to all. She will always remain a huge influence in my life and will be sadly missed. I can't wait to get one of those remarkable hugs she was so famous for. Rest in peace- love Dew. I will see everyone on Saturday.

It is with great sadness I express my words of sympathy on the loss if this lovely lady. As a friend to her sons, before meeting her I always wondered about the woman behind these great guys. A true testament to her as a mother. My condolences go out to the family during this very difficult time. You are all in my prayers. Xo

I was so very sorry to hear about the sudden loss of Rosemary to your family. It seems so unfair that she really just started to her well deserved retirement to have it all end so soon. She always spoke of her family, it was clearly everything to her, and it is so nice to see that her life was filled with not just her boys but now daughters and so many grandchildren. To a woman who so loved her family, this must have filled her life with great joy. Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss.

To Jordan, Chris and Dwight, I am at a loss for adequate words to express my sadness in losing, what I think, is the single most important compass in my life. I know your mother was that to you guys too, and with this loss comes so many layers of heartache. I had the blessed opportunity of meeting your mother in January of 2002, when I was advised I would be doing my co-op placement with her at Lerners. I was really young and had just left home for the first time, and I can remember how very scared and alone I felt being away from my family. It wasn’t long after that Rosemary took me under her wing and made me feel like her own daughter. I was able to spend so many milestones with her. She attended my wedding, participated in the building of our new home that ended up being down the street from her, and was with me through the birth of both my children. I also was given the great pleasure of attending her 60th birthday party. Your mother always spoke about the three of you with the utmost love and affection. I can truly say that you meant the world to her. The very few times I have met each of you, it is very easy to see that you are all a reflection of your mother in the way you treat people with respect and empathy. Your mother’s kindness and sincerity is what has made me into the kind of woman, wife and mother I am today. I was able to learn life-long lessons through her reaching out to me and in her memory, I will walk through life with a bigger heart. I mean this from the bottom of my heart when I say, I will truly, truly miss her.
