So sorry to hear
My deepest condolences to all who knew and loved Rosie. I remember so many good conversations with her when she and Chuck visited us in Berlin and Rome. The matriarch will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to have her in their lives. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
Deepest sympathy to all of Rosemary’s family. I worked at FirsTier Bank with Rosemary.
