My thoughts and prayers are with the Hitchens family during this difficult and sad time. Please accept my deepest condolences. May Rosemary's memory be eternal.

My heartfelt condolences to all the Hitchen family on the loss of their mother Rosemary. Also, Especially to Lisa Hitchens Young,her loving daughter, married to my son Geoff. Sincerely,Peg Young

I didn't know Rosemary but I am very sorry to hear of her passing. I only know 2 of her sons. They spoke highly of her and I know she was a wonderful mother to all her children. May God bless the Hitchen's family and keep them strong thru this loss. You have my deepest sympathy and you are in my prayers.

To Lisa and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to The Hitchens family. I wish I could be there Friday, my love and prayers are with all of you. Your mom was a wonderful person and I admired her greatly. I know she will be deeply missed. She had such a warm smile, thats what I remember first when I think of her. She was also a very strong person. No matter what the world threw at her, she accepted it and moved on with a smile. I will miss her and I love you all.Let me know if there is anything I can do. Love Dawn.

I shared so many great memories with the Hitchens family- too many to count. As I flash back to our childhood, I see such happy times and simple times that I treasure so deeply. I have always loved Mrs. Hitchens- even when she kicked our butts out of the house when she had enough of us kids ha ha ha! With 8 children to feed, I remember feeling priviledged to stay for dinner. We ate in shifts because we couldn't fit around the table : ) I remember in the summer time cooking out back. We all had those red 3-legged charcoal grills. It was at one of the Hitchens' cookouts that I had clams for the first time. An interesting experience for a kid : ). I remember when Mrs. H brought her youngest baby home and she invited me in and let me hold her. Wow was that the best! Peacha was pissed because I got to hold her and she thought she named her after me! Ha ha. I could go on and on. Thank you Rosemary- for everything. Thank you for bringing your wonderful family into the world and for crossing paths with ours. You will be missed and I hope and pray you are at peace and with your boys again.

To Dallas, Denise, David, Patrick, Lisa ,Michelle...

All my love to all of you.

Your mom did something so wonderful for me. She gave me all of you.She provided for me the closest thing to having siblings of my own. I loved growing up with all of you. My summers and holidays with my dad and you is some of my favorite memories. Your mom was always so sweet and kind and I knew she loved me too. What a wonderful family we have and have had. I wish I could go back to those days and visit us , we had so much fun. I hope that our futures keep us togther, for family is the strongest bond. I think of you all often, and hope to see you and talk to all of you sooner rather than later. Rest in Peace Aunt Rosemary, you will be missed and always loved.
