Condolence: My deepest sympathy to Rosemary's family. Our connections thru Barefoot Contessa group where Rosemary touched so many hearts will not be forgotten. Her stories, photos and recipes shared show her incredible personality and love of Life. May you find comfort in knowing this is not Good-bye but - Until we meet again. Cherish her memories as she watches from Heaven Above.

Condolence: Dear Labato family, I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful lady just on facebook in a cooking group we all loved so much. I learned so much from Rosemary about food and her love of cooking for her family, friends and her wonderful "Big Daddy". I would wait daily to see what she was eating and cooking. My joking dream was to live next door to Rosemary. We would banter back and forth and laugh through our cooking blogs. I got to know her wonderful spirit and grew to love her ability to keep so many of us in love and laughter with her cooking. It is with terrible sadness that I must say goodbye to someone I wish I had met in person. It is also with great happiness that I had the chance to know for a short time someone so kind. Rosemary, you brought light and life to my day. I will miss you terribly and will forever not understand why you had to go. Rest in Peace Sincerely Fannietra B. Donald 312.316.6995

Condolence: Dom, so sorry to hear of your wife's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolence: Dom,please know you are in my families' prayers during this difficult time.....God bless my friend!

Condolence: I knew Rosemary through a Facebook cooking page. I always enjoyed her post. She was so gracious in giving encouragement, sharing recipes and offering advice. Our community has been diminished with Rosemary's passing. To her family and friends, please know that she was admired and loved by those who never met her, but had the experience of encountering her warm and generous spirit.

Condolence: Just wanted to say, how totally lost I feel at loosing such a beautiful friend. We never met in person, just across the miles. Can't put into words what this beautiful lady meant to me. I will never forget you dear Rosemary. Sending my condolences and love to your family, especially dear Dom and her special boys.... her beagles. You are in my prayers tomorrow. I will light a candle for you all. God bless you all.

Condolence: Though I didn't know Ms. Rosemary personally, I wanted to send my condolences to her beautiful family. She was a kind soul with a knack for kitchen talents and a big heart. Her warmth even emanated via her posts on Facebook and surely she placed a smile on the face of every person she encountered. I hope her memory stays a vibrant celebration in your memories and the stories you tell your family's future generations. She surely will be celebrated in our memories so long as we have the cooking group as our congregation. Rest in Peace, Ms. Rosemary. Thank you for all you've done.

Condolence: To the family of Rosie - our paths crossed on an online cooking group. It was obvious that she loved life and she loved her looking! I was happy to share some virtual time with her! Rest In Peace.

Condolence: Rosie posted great pics of the devine food she shared with the people she loved. Her posts are missed by people across the country and around the world. RIP Rosie, God speed

Condolence: Rosemary was a ray of sunshine and inspiration. I met her on one of our cooking groups. Her posts were uplifting, humorous and encouraging. Her recipes were unrivaled. A void has been left by her presence. To say she will be missed is an understatement. Love from Knoxville, Tennessee.

Condolence: I met Rosie last year through mutual friends and our love for music and we had all attended a concert and dinner together. She was a very sweet person and we became friends quickly.
