I loved sweet Rosemary.... I was blessed to marry her son, Joel in 1989. Before I met her, I knew she was special, because I had never met a more wonderful person than Joel. When I got to go to Wheeler to meet Joel’s family, I was delighted to find two of the most down to earth, humble, likable people I had ever known. Little did I know that I would have the honor of marrying their son. As long as I have known her, I have never heard her say an unkind thing about anyone, and if you told her something in confidence, you could count on it being safe with her. She loved her family, and her family loves her. I have always wished that I was a little more like her... she was a kind, funny, gentle, loving, sweet, and sometimes a little sassy! I’m certain that our Father God has been looking forward to her joining her mother, father and brothers up there in heaven! What a joyous reunion they will have! Maybe knowing that will it make it just a little bit easier to take that she will no longer be here with us. I loved my Mother in law, Rosemary, and I always will. Thank you, Rosemary, for blessing us with the person that you were to each of us. I miss you already.
