It has taken a long time to write  this....
I still can't believe my best friend is gone... 
I miss our late night talks, of our successes and failures, laughter and tears. 
Safe in the arms of her Lord - at last no more pain and sorrow. 
Rosemary was the light, the laughter and the love to those around her. 
Manuela and I miss you. 
We wish we could have stayed in Woodlake with you, three old friends to the very end. 

Cindy Briggs and Manuela Faulkner 

It is only now, many months later, I can write this. Rosemary - is the laughter, the light and the love we will all miss.
I am so glad I told her long ago, if she passed and left me here, she would leave a huge hole in my life - no one else could ever fill. 
That I would miss her so terribly and I do! 
I miss our late night talks...   Sharing recipes and secrets, our joys and sorrows, how we succeed and how we failed... 
How much fun the three of us had, with Manuela Faulkner along. All of us going to yard sales and thrift stores - until I thought my car would explode! Then, admiring and comparing our bargains, over coffee and chatter. 
Rosemary's faith got her through the toughest of times, to the very end...
I know her LORD welcomed her home as she passed bravely from this life - to the next.
Rosemary, I was right...
There is a huge hole in my life, no one else can ever fill and you are missed terribly by all.
You are spoken of often, we still love and miss you, we often still shed a tear, that you are not with us here.
You are now in the heavens, in a state of Grace. 
Into the arms of your Lord,
who has eased your earthly pain and will keep you safe,
until we all meet again, in a more perfect place.
I am glad I told you all of that before you passed, instead of waiting, leaving it all unsaid to the very last... 
Manuela says, she misses you too and wishes we all could have stayed in Valencia apartments in Woodlake. 
Just three old friends together... Sharing  our friendship, lives and laughter - until they came to an end... 
We miss you Rosemary! 
Cindy Briggs and
Manuela Faulkner 

Rosemary was one of my closest friends She was such an amazing person it was a privilege to have her in my life. She always stood by me when I needed her. I was blessed to have known her for 40 years.She was a great cook and an inspiration to me during my darkest hours in my life.Many people will never be blessed as I was to have someone like Rosemary in their life but if you are treasure that friendship until the end, She was a diamond in the rough. She also was blessed with an amazing family . She is in heaven with God now And everyone in heaven is being blessed with her presence. Rest in peace my wonderful and amazing friend. First thing I want to do when I get to heaven is find you and second is to never let you go.

My heartfelt condolence to the beloved family and relatives. Although your hearts are heavy with sorrow because of the pain of grief, let the strength that God give bring you comfort and peace and also healing to the pain of heart.

Dear family rose was my friend for many years we always talked she was a good listener and we cooked together we had fun we laughed she keeps me going I was sad when she moved away I never had a good friend like rose and she was a good cook. I can not be there but I will think of her and will miss her. May she rest in peace and my prays are with her god bless
