Thanks Rosemary
Rosemary: Symbol of Remembrance, Friendship & Love.
I am so sorry for your loss but I know you mom is in a much better place now! I did not have the pleasure of meeting her but I know you and based on that she must have been a wonderful caring woman.
She also must have had the patience of Job! :)
Good news is you will see her again! Love you TP
My sincerest sympathy in the loss of your loved one, Rosemary.
She made a deep and positive impact on many and on our precious environment.
I didn't have the pleasure of meeting your Mom, but knowing what a wonderful son she raised, she had to have been an inspiration to all who knew her. Our world is a better place because of her.
I love you, my thoughts and prayers go out to you. (Mosquito)
She will make a terrific angel!
I feel very privileged to have been able to meet your mom on a number of occasions, and each time I remember leaving with a sense of amazement at the incredible life that she had led. I knew she was an amazing person because of the mark she left on you- which you then left on me.
I have been Blessed by knowing the son she raised and the wonderful lessons in life she passed onto him.
Sailing with you and Jack. Where there was a will, you always found a way! You left your mark on many. Thank you for mine..RIP sweet lady
Thank you for being so lovable! And, I am sure you and my mom are
having a great time together. We miss you!!!
You are like many of the trails you blazed; the deeper I go the more I discover about you. I hope this memorial leads me to many more fascinating discoveries. My birthday will now forever be linked to your memory and I am honored, but I also know you will be in every Sandhill Crane I see, every chicadee dee dee I hear. I love you!
Thank-You for being such a major influence in my life. I leaned to resected your straight forwardness with me, whether I liked or in some cases did not like what you had to say, you were generally right (I hated that you know) but boy did I learn. Please hug my daddy for me. I love you both!

Rosemary and my mom, Joyce Krahn
I was not present when this photo was taken but I can tell you that the woman to Rosemary's right is my mom, Joyce Krahn, and the woman on the far left is my Senior Girl Scout leader Faith Rice. I graduated from Madison West High School in 1976 after growing up in Girl Scouting and attending Camp BlackHawk. I attended University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point in Natural Resource Management and Environmental Education. In 1978 I volunteered as an intern under Rosemary. She taught me many things about environmental education, interpretation and teaching. It is one of the highlights of my undergraduate career.
My mom began training as a naturalist at the Arboretum while I was in college and worked with Rosemary there as well as at the Madison School Forest. They spent many years at Camp BlackHawk together where my mom help run Women's Week.
I consider Rosemary as one of the top 10 most personally influential people in my life. The pressed and framed Prairie smoke she gave my husband and I as a wedding gift 33 years ago still hangs in my home. Thank you for posting the photos I'm seeing here. They bring back great memories.
