Rosemarie and I were both in USO units in high school and danced together in the Gator Growl at UofF. She was a beautiful young woman. God Bless her. The Miami Jackson Class of 1957 is giving a gift in her memory to the Wounded Warriors Fund. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. God Bless Rosemarie and her family.
Rosemarie was a regular participant in my yoga classes, and was a volunteer who helped with check-in. She was always warm and receptive to me. She had the sweetest voice, and was truly an example of strength and softness. I was in awe of what she was capable of on her mat. I’m grateful for how she touched my life.

Rosemary was both the candle and the mirror that reflected the best in everyone and most of all, LOVE. She was a beautiful woman and a beautiful sole. We became friends over the past few years during our exercise classes. We shared some life stories, had many a laugh. I will miss her gentle spirit and her sweet sweet smile!

Our class of 1957 is getting smaller as the years go by. We went to Miami Jackson High School together. "Friends Forever" May GOD bless all of her family.
Rosemarie lived her life enjoying each day to the fullest. She was caring towards every person she met. I miss her presence very much. Her memory will live in my heart forever. Sincerely, Barbara
Rosemarie was loved and will continue to be loved by those whose lives she touched.
Rosemarie touched my life. I am truly blessed to have had her in my life as a neighbor, friend, and part of our faith community at Holy Faith and our Small Christian Group on Monday afternoons.
You are my real Angel now Rosemarie.
I will miss dear Rosemarie seriously. Rosemarie recently gave me a greeting card that read "Hey Lady, How are you so awesome? and inside it read "Millie, And how am I so lucky to have you for a friend? Seriously" she signed it "Love you, seriously! Rosemarie"
That card brought me a lot of joy and I felt it was sincere and from the heart. This is the person I grew to know and love. A person who was caring and so loving.
I had only known Rosemarie for a short time but it was so easy to get to know her and love her. She was a very sweet lady and our friendship grew fast. I was one of three ladies who met in our small group with Rosemarie every Monday afternoon to share our faith. It was a time we all looked forward too where we studied together, read scripture, discussed our faith, prayed, laughed, sometimes cried and shared our love of God. These times will always be precious memories and I will surely miss Rosemarie's beautiful smile and the friendship we shared will never be forgotten. SERIOUSLY!
Love you Rosemarie!
The angels will be smiling with you as you enter the gates of Heaven. Rest in Peace my dear friend,
Love,
Millie Roig
My condolences to the family. She shared how much she loved each and everyone of you and you could see the love in the gleam of her eyes as she shared. May God bless you.
