    A truly talented person has left us. One of the fondest memories I have of my sister is listening to her play the piano and and sing.We lived in a two story house in Honeoye Falls. Her piano was at the foot of the stairs leading the bedroom David and I slept in. Went to sleep listening to her sing. Only one of her many talents.

    While growing up, Tracy and I were inseparable for most of our adolescent years, which in turn made Mrs. Rowland like a second mom to me then. I have many wonderful memories of time spent at their home that I will always cherish. My thoughts, prayers, sympathy and love is with the 4 wonderful women that grew up at 327 Lowden Point Road.

    Will forever miss Rosemary, she was my neighbor at Eagle Ridge Circle just found out of her passing. She was a dear lady spoke about her daughter’s and grand daughters often. I will miss her dearly. I remember her scolding me for shoveling her sidewalk with no hat as she bought me a hat this winter I wear it and will always think of her.
