Gary and I were saddened to read of Rose Marie's passing. I have been sorting and came across photos of you Karen. I was also saddened to see your husband passed last year! Your Mum and my brother Jimmy shared their birthday on Halloween. Your Mum and Dad are now reunited. They were so good to me by having me babysit - I remember your Barbie dolls! Your Mum told me I couldn't date until I was 25. I said by that time you wouldn't need a sitter! We had a nice visit - before Covid - at the gas station! Hold onto your sweet memories Randy and Karen.

I’ve never met a more pure soul in my life. Your witty comments and care free attitude. You truly lit up a room when you walked in. I don’t think I ever heard negativity run from your mouth (unless you were telling someone how foolish they were and even that was rare) you found the good in every single thing about life and if it sucked you still found a way to love it.
I truly admired that about you. I admired your love for life, and your love for everyone who loved you. I could go on for days about how wonderful it was to have you in my life... I sure got lucky
I’m happy you’re where there’s endless warm days, and sunshine. You will be so missed Rosemarie...
Love; Jake Charlotte and the kids

So sorry to hear of your loss. Rosemary was such a friendly neighbour who was always asking about the kids and making special Halloween packages for them. The kids loved saying "happy birthday" to her instead of "trick or treat". We will miss the waves and the talks.

Please accept our sincere sympathy in the passing of your Mom, when your parents lived on the farm they were directly behind my parents farm on Erie Street North or Colby Road as it is called today and my Dad worked several years at the dairy for Walt and Lance. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this very difficult time. May the peace that comes from the memories of love shared comfort you in the days ahead.

Karen and Randy and families:
So many fond memories of Aunt Rose Marie! As a child I remember my mom (Annie O'Neill) would talk almost daily to Rose Marie. Grandma Hall and Marina, in that wonderful Scottish accent that I miss hearing. Your mom was so kind and generous, always giving folks a ride to Chatham and London for whatever need they had. Bettijane and I enjoyed visiting your mom and dad when we came to Ridgetown for Christmas back in the good old days.
Our sincere sympathies from
Ted, Bettijane, Matt and Andrea & family

Hi Karen, Randy and family,
Sincere condolences on Aunt Rose Marie’s passing. She was always fun to be with and generous with her time. I went to Green’s public school while she attended and also we were together at RDHS for a short time before she graduated. I know my mother, Annie, loved talking to her and they would both slip into that Scottish brogue for those conversations when Grandma and Papa were present.
Sadly the generations do pass. All the best in coping with your loss.
Gary, Phyllis O’Neill and family.
