    Rosemary's love of creating and nurturing beautiful things are exemplified in the artwork and flowers that adorn her home. We are so grateful for her willingness to share that beauty with others. Her legacy is one of a truly inspiring individual. We shall always value her friendship and remember her kind smile."

    Dr. Leggett & family,
    I am so sorry to hear of Rosemary’s passing. She was such a sweet person. Although I didn’t get to be around her much, I enjoyed seeing her around town. She always had a smile on her face & a gentle spirit. I know she will be greatly missed but her memory will be in your hearts forever. I will keep y’all in my prayers!

    Oh, what a beautiful picture!
    Indeed Rosemary was always a beautiful lady. A lady with a quiet, dignified, beautiful soul! The beauty of her soul was reflected in the things that surrounded her: the beautiful music that she played on her piano, the beautiful paintings that she made, her beautiful house, her beautiful family and her beautiful faith. And I say her beautiful faith, because in the hour of her greatest trial, I have looked into her serene face and I understood that she was blessed with “that faith that surpasses all understanding!“
    That faith she always wanted to share with others in her unique way, through the knowledge of of the Health Message. Because she knew, that in Health Message, one will also find that greater message that is the Gospel of Salvation in Jesus Christ.
    I believe that her greatest desire, was for all of us to be present at the feet of Jesus that resurrection morning when she will hear the words: “Well done, good and faithful servant!“

    Our deepest condolences. I met Rosemary over 20 years ago when we visited her home. I still remember her hospitality and kindness to this day. Throughout the years when our paths crossed, she would always ask about my parents and my life.

    We look forward to the day we can all be reunited.

    Much love to Dr. Leggett and the family

    She was an amazing artist with a beautiful soul, always kind and compassionate, welcoming to others, and a wonderful mother to her children. She will be terribly missed.
