Rosemary Stipo 

Mom
1923-2013
  

As many of you know, we lost our mom last month on June 19th.  Rosemary was such an inspiration to both of us and we miss her terribly. 

 

Our MomCat was a joy in the kitchen, abundant with curiosity and a healthy appetite, and the original foodie. She will live on in our hearts and in our kitchens.

 

 

The rain to the wind said

"You push and I'll pelt!"

They so smote the garden bed

That the flowers actually knelt.

And lay lodged -- though not dead.

I know how the flowers felt.
