    I loved this women! She, I considered to be my best friend. I drove her every other Wed to get her hair done at the beauty shop or to a doctor appt. Sometimes we'd go and have lunch and just talk about both our lives. Her stories were more interesting than mine since she lived a longer life. Rosemarie was very sharp minded and so very nice and sweet. I will miss her very much. I haven't been able to drive anyone else because I don't want to get as close to someone and then their gone. I treasure our friendship and have tears in my eyes just writing this tribute to her. I could see at the memorial how much she was loved by her family and friends. Fly with the angels, Rosemarie and we will meet again one day. Love you Joan Wallace
