I will always remember Rosemary as being a friend to everyone, she knew no stranger,when someone she hadn't seen at church before, she was always the first one to welcome them. She was a very cheerful person even though her illness took its toll on her. My prayers go out to her husband and children.

You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. You heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she's gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Author; David Harkins

We will miss Rosemary on her front porch. Our walks will not be the same without her. If we loved her from just the time we lived on this same street, I can't imagine how Jim and her family and close friends will miss her. I pray God comforts you with many happy memories and the promise of seeing her again in heaven.

Dear Jim and family~ there just aren't words to say how deeply sorry I am for the loss of your wife, mother and grandmother. I so enjoyed reconnecting with my nursing classmate through FB. She was a true gem that will be missed dearly. My prayers of comfort to you all~ Lisa

/public-file/6/Ultra/Rosemary_Mackinstry_Sugar_and_Spice.jpg

This is one of my favorite photos of my 3 girls, Sugar and Spice. Spice is no longer in our home although Sugar sitting in Rosemary's lap is still in our home. Sugar, in human years is 105 years old... She has always barked when she wanted something or attention but tonight I heard and saw her tip her head upwards and howl a lonesome sound. Me too! I miss her so very much.
