Many fond memories of Thanksgiving dinners at the "Other Sterks" house. Yes, her brownies were the best!
My condolences to all, for the loss of your Mother and Grandmother.

I felt like Rosemary partially raised me. Really a great lady. I have long used her line "if you don't have it, you must not want it enough." Salt-of-the earth wisdom. I will miss her. May God bless her family.

Rosemary spent some evenings with my mom and the gals at our house, too. She was pretty cool.

It's hard for me to come up with words to describe my Grandmother. Which is crazy considering that she could come up with words for anything. But I'll do my best.
She was the best meatloaf cook in the midwest. And her brownies could not be beat. Pat Sajak can rest easy knowing that she will never be on Wheel of Fortune to bankrupt the show. She was also the best prayer I knew. If you had a problem, she was the go to person. Which isn't going to change now. In fact, it will be easier because she has a direct line with God.
We love you, Gramma.
