Rosemarie mentored me in my first four years of teaching, sometimes with words but mostly by example. She cared deeply for her students, was proactive rather than reactive in dealing with students’ problems, showed me that giving 110% was more rewarding and fun than giving anything less, and that solid dedication to the job was what every child deserved.
She became a dear friend, full of stories and laughs, a deep thinker and theologian who extended grace to all, and a wickedly sharp Scrabble player. I miss you already, Rose.
Love, Wendy
