I love you, Kim, Debbie, and Oshel. I’ve known Rosemary and Oshel since I was a little girl and she was my Sunday School teacher. I loved visiting with them the last few years. We would laugh and talk about old times. I am going to miss her, but I know she is with her Lord and Savior. May you be comforted with Gods’ promise that you will all be together again in Heaven.

Loved sweet Rosemary, was privileged to work in her office at Duval in 1981, I really loved and appreciated her, as I got older I watched her serve tirelessly as a Pastor’s wife. She was a great woman of God.

So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Hugs and prayers for you and your family.

Oshel and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Rosemarys passing, she was such a wonderful lady, I enjoyed talking and being with her and Oshel each year at our Class Reunion. will miss her. may she rest in peace.
Rosemary, was my neighbor growing up. She was like a 2nd Mom to me and my brother. I learned many good life lessons from her. She taught me to sew which I have used through out my life. She more importantly taught us all to be fair honest and caring to others. She and my Mom left this world just days apart. I know they are heavenly neighbors now.
Debbie and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you peace and comfort in the days ahead. Love you all.
Debbie, Max, and Melinda, Debbie and I are truly sorry to her of you family’s loss. Though we did not know her, we know she must have been a great blessing to each of you. Phillip and Debbie Parrish
Deepest sympathy to Oshel and the family. Rosemary was a kind,thoughtful person. She would send my Dad pie when he was not well and Oshel would visit on a regular basis. I remember when Oshel and Rosemary were married they were so happy and they continued to be devoted to each other.
