“Condolences to the Buerke family on the loss of dearest Rosie.
May she rest in peace and now be with Gene.
I knew Rosemary for many years through the Legion of Mary here in Yardley. Her life radiated her faith in so many beautiful ways. Rest in peace, my friend.
JILL AND I ARE VERY SAD THAT ROSIE HAS PASSED. WE SPENT MANY TIMES WITH HER AND HER –AND— OUR FAMILY WHICH WE ENJOYED IMMENSELY. WE WILL CERTAINLY MISS HER.
We are so sorry to hear of Rosie’s death. She and I were always at the end of the alphabet in high school at DuBourg and college at Webster. We said we were going to marry someone at the beginning. She married Buerke and I married Buck. She was a truly Christian lady. We will miss her.
I have fond memories of Aunt Rosie. She was such a kind-hearted person. My condolences to all who will miss her.
I was shocked to learn of Rosemary’s passing, My prayers are with her family when dealing with such a major loss. R.I.P. Rosie and be with Gene in heaven.
My sincere condolences to the Buerke family. Rosemary was the sweetest lady. We had been in a Bible Study group together and then on an ACTS retreat. Whenever I would see her at church she would smile so sweetly. May she rest in peace and may the Holy Spirit wrap her in the loving arms of God. Bernadette, my sister-in-Christ, so very sorry for your loss.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you have many warm memories to hold in your hearts. Sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear about your loss. May she rest in the peace and love of God. -Lori Carroll (Hasenstab)
