Dear Family,
Know of my prayers for your loss. Aunt Rosemary was quite a gal. She was part Farrell so that meant she was spunky and outspoken. I loved her very much! Dad and I enjoyed the few summer visits we had over the past years. Know that God wraps you in a hug of love and comfort.
Love ya,
Jan Farrell, Joe Farrell's youngest daughter

As Rosemary leaves us I believe that in the words of the song that she will be resting high upon that mountain, because her work on earth is done. What a wonderful Wife, Mother, Grandmother and friend she has been. The family will be in my prayers and I know that one day we'll see her again.
