We are planting a tree in remembrance of our beloved Rosemary who was not only an amazing mother to her boys, Michael and Gregory, and loving wife to her husband, Brian, but also so gentle and loving to all of us who always felt like a part of the family every time we were welcomed in their home. Thank you for all the years of memories filled with love and laughter. You fought a tough battle but you were one of the strongest most selfless women we had the honor of loving. Rest now and watch over us. “Families are like branches on a tree. We grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one.” Love, Frank, Kim and Zachary Fiorillo, Gina and Eric Elenowitz

Growing up as friends with Greg, Rosemary instantly stood out because she was the only mom that had us all call her by her first name!! She definitely established herself as the coolest mom in the friends group. Hanging out at Greg's house was always a blast because Rosemary was part of the fun. With every interaction with her, you could feel her warmth and genuine interest in how you were doing. Looking back on how involved she was in the lives of her family, it's no question she was one of a kind. From hosting Jennette Jam in her backyard to being at all of Greg's and Mike's shows, it's apparent she loved her family and friends deeply. She let me and Greg watch Billy Madison when we were in like 3rd grade, and to this day it's still my favorite movie even though we were probably way to young to watch it. Like I said, she was was a cool mom. This is such a tough loss. Greg, you're a great friend and I know this loss is hard, as it would be for anyone losing a mom as special as yours. Please take some some solace knowing that she really did feel like a parent to everyone in our friend group, and we all wished our mom's could have been a little bit more like Rosemary. - David Albaranes

Dear Brian, Michael and Gregory, We are all so sorry over your loss of Rosemary. We had some great times together, although a long time ago, at the Boy Scout meetings and trips. Rosemary was definitely dubbed as one of the more "fun" moms at these events. We also loved seeing her at your band performances, you know she was your greatest supporter! It really was great fun being with her while you kids were growing up! We will remember her wonderful spirit and kindness always.
