    Back when I had my band, Rosemary & Tom would always come to hear us play at Leelanau Sands. She had her little dog in the stroller too. I enjoyed talking to Rosemary and she would requests some old songs that I was glad to play for her. She was an absolute delight and I will miss her. My prayers and condolences to her family.
