    Cindy, and all Rosemary’s family, While I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing her well, what I did know, I admired. Her graciousness and smile are memorable qualities to be sure. May you rest in His comfort during this season. With much love,

    There is not a childhood holiday, Persimmon Festival or card party memory that doesn’t involve the Brewer/ Allen family. From Rosemary’s parents Cecil and Elsie to her grandchildren our families have loved each other. She shared memories with Pam and I of loved ones long gone from this earth. If something was happening in our families good or devastating the first to arrive is the Brewer/Allen family. To my sisters Cheryl and Cindy, I love you and pray for you and your families.
