I was really sad to hear of Rosemary’s passing. There was a time when we all (Dunlap Family) lived near one another and visited often, which unfortunately has changed a lot over the years. Rosemary was loved by us all when she and Sammy began dating. She was a wonderful addition to the Dunlap Family and will be missed by all. Prayers and sincere condolences for all.
Love and prayers, Sue Ann
