With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Rosemary Reschke of Hamburg, MI.
What we offer here is gratitude wrapped in remembrance.
Rosemary held deeply to the Lutheran faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
A life of belief is a life of quiet conversation with something larger.
