5.0 out of 5 stars An uplifting journey through grief, June 9, 2000

By	Carol H. Jenkins (New Albany, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Rosemary is for remembrance.....Rosemary Smith lives up to her name with this beautiful, inspiring book featuring the stories of families who have found a way to cope with the deaths of their children. The book is illustrated with inspirational artwork featuring a cherub representing each child. Whether the children are lost to accident, illness, suicide or murder, the survivors are left to face a world that will never be the same. A common thread in all these stories is the need to keep the memories of these children alive, and this book serves that purpose by making the personalities of these young people come to life for the reader. The families will, of course, never forget these children, but now the readers of this extraordinary book - along with Rosemary - will also remember.

5.0 out of 5 stars sibling of a child of the dome, October 5, 2000

By	tiny warner (ky) - See all my reviews

My name is Tiny Warner, and I am a sibling to one of the children of the dome. Shelby Warner was, well, will always be my baby brother and Rosemary did an excellent job with this book. She has helped so many people who are dealing with the loss of a child, when they feel that they have no where else to go. It helps so much to read of others who have gone through an ordeal like this. I know Rosemary personally and there is no finer person than her, she is a woman with a heart of gold. I know what strength and courage it must have taken for her to share the pain of losing her sons, but she did it with such grace and I take my hat off to her for the wonderful job that she did, not only with my brother's story, but with all the stories of the "CHILDREN OF THE DOME." God Bless You Rosemary Smith.

By	kimberly price (Bradfordsville,Ky.) - See all my reviews

This is really wonderful that people are willing to share their grief with others. I know one of the mothers who shared her story. I know how torn apart her life was due to the lost of her son.I have read her words many times in our local paper. I know nothing will ever take away her pain but hope this woman and many like her have helped many others and for that I am sure alot of people will say Thanks for your time and stories.
