Jan and family:

Brenda & I are sorry to hear you've lost your mother. While we did not know her personally, based on our experience with you, we can only surmise she must have been a very caring, compassionate and loving mother. Peace, blessings and strength to you and your family.

Rosemary and I met when she volunteered at the flower desk at St. Joseph Medical Center and I visited her at Villa Ventura when I could. She was a dear, dear friend. The sisters and I will remember her at Mass here at Nazareth Living Center in St. Louis. May she enjoy eternal happiness. Sr. Ruth Baudhuin

Rosemary will certainly be missed here at Villa by so many of us. She is at peace now and I know her family will have many happy memories to sustain them in their time of sorrow.

My mother, Polly Houts was very fond of Rosemary. They were friends going back to pre-war days. After my father died, Rosemary and Polly became very close and she spoke of her often with great love. When Polly became ill with Alzheimers, Rosemary came and visited her on many occasions. With much sadness to see one of the true saints depart, I offer my condolences to everyone in the family.
