Rose Marie was a mentor of mine as soon as I started working at DOR several years ago. I told her I had avoided working in a beaurocacy all my life. She helped me navigate the intracicies of how to “fit in”. Rose Marie continually held my hand so to speak through all of the beaurectic mess. But most of all, she was a kind, caring person who never said no to a challenge. She brought extensive knowledge, passion and humor to us. Last year I bought her a SF Giants game Jersey and anonymously put it her office. Some how she knew it was me. All she did was give me a hug. That hug I will cherish! R.I.P. my friend. Dave S.
