Jared, so sorry for the loss of your dear mother. I pray you find comfort in the words at Rev 21:4 " He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning or outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

Jared, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. She was one of my favorite teachers in high school. I loved here sense of humor. She often spoke of you, and you could tell how much she loved you when she did.

My thoughts and prayers are with Rosemary's family and friends. Mrs. Waller was one of my favorite teachers in high school! She taught my junior year English class. She was always ready and willing to help anyone who needed it. She was incredibly funny and made learning so much more fun! I'm deeply saddened to hear of her passing. She was an amazing person and will be greatly missed.

Hello, Everyone! This is Rosemary's son, Jared D. Waller. I want you to know that I have read through all of the heart-felt condolences that each of you so kindly took the time to type and post. Your thoughtful words truly mean more to me than I can ever articulate. Please know just how much Mom loved and cared for each and every one of you! One of the reasons Mom was known to always have a smile on her face was due to the close, dear friends she had the distinct honor of being around. From a wide variety of students, to fellow teachers, to brothers and sisters in Christ at church, along with many other friends and family, Mom has told me various times just how blessed she was to know such a wonderful group of people. As I sit here today, all I can say is that I miss her more than words can fully explain. With that, though, I'm reminded of the fact that she is right now, even as I type this message in Heaven with her friends and family that have gone on before. She is there with them praising God and enjoying the wonders of that Heavenly city! Knowing that I will see her again someday, provides me with the hope and strength to keep on, keeping on, despite how I may feel at the present. Thank you again for your touching words of love and encouragement! GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember becoming acquainted with Ms. Waller as a freshman, long before she would be my senior English teacher. She would pop into Mrs. Carter's class after the bell from time to time, and she always struck me as funny and warm to everyone. As my teacher senior year, she inspired me to work my hardest and made the learning so much fun along the way. My prayers are with the family, as her students will miss her dearly and I can't imagine the loss the family must feel. Ms. Waller was adored by all!

Ms. Waller was one of my favorite teachers at GCHS. I had the privilege of having her as an English teacher for 2 years. She taught me so much. I have thought of her often. She helped me see my love for English Literature and encouraged me to read all of the classics. I ended up reading most of the classics while I was in her class and I still read them to this day. I hated to hear about her passing. She was a gift to this world. Sending lots of love and prayers to her friends and family.

I can't remember ever seeing Mrs. Waller without a glowing smile on her face. She was an exceptional educator ,and is responsible for my love of classical literature. Thank you for giving me the greatest gift one person can give to another, the ability to be engrossed and swept up in a story. My condolences to her beloved Son, and family. I know she will be truly missed.

Ms Waller was one of my favorite teachers at GCHS. I was lucky enough to have her for two classes and home room. She was a great teacher. She had a way of making the most boring of subjects interesting and fun. It broke my heart to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Jared, I taught with your mother at GCHS, she was a ray of sunshine to all of us. Her laugh and wit entertained me many times. She was a great teacher and friend. My fondest memories are of her and Becky Carter, put those two together and the laughter embraced all of us. I know that she has suffered and while she is in a far better place, it does not make it any easier for those left behind. Cherish your memories and relish the time you had with her. Sandi

Mrs. Waller was one of the best teachers at GCHS. She made learning enjoyable, and inspired many students to want to pursue teaching, myself included. She had a wonderful sense of humor and made school very exciting. She will be so greatly missed.
