Dear Jayne, Jon, Don and Families,
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy, Jerome, Bev, Randall and Audrey Schultz
Jayne, Jon and Don,
So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Sorry also that I could not accompany Doug to the services, given my siblings and I were settling my mother's estate this week. I could always count on Aunt Rosemary to bring a smile and a good time any time she entered a room! Sorry to have missed one last visit with her when we come this summer, but look forward to seeing you all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sincere sympathy to you all. Our prayers and thoughts as well....

Dear Jayne, Jon & Don,
I remember coming to see my Aunt Rosemary and Uncle Don as a warm, fun, and good time. Your Mother was such a loving person. Her kindness and love were so apparent when she was with her family. I enjoyed chatting with her by phone. She shared loving and great memories with me regarding my mother, Esther DeBruin Miles.
I'm so sorry that ill health keeps my husband and I from being with you today.
Aunt Rosemary- you are remembered with much love.
Jan Miles Dickey
Jayne and Roger,
I was so upset to hear about your mom, Jayne, she was like my second mother when we were growing up. I remember her always laughing at our teen-age shenanigans, but never being negative about our decisions - always so supportive. You could get her laughing so hard during those years, she had fun with her kids! Some of my best memories were trips with your parents, they treated me like one of the kids. I am sorry that I never go back to GH anymore, haven't for years, but when I think about Michigan you and your mom are always first in my memories. I am planning a trip to GH in Sept.this year, so hopefully we can make a date. Much, much love to all the family, Mary Romero (Boer)
My husband Herm and Rosemary were friends, went to school together, and he passed away 4 years ago. I think of her from High School when she worked at a local dairy bar and wish to express my condolences. Our family has lots of ties to her family and all those memories come back to me as I ponder her death. My prayers for her to Jane and Don I'll always have the memories.
