IN MEMORIUM: QUEEN ROSEMARY

In Memorium

Rosemary, Queen of Dor was born on the seventh of August to Basil and Marjoram Campbell of the Kingdom of Borscht. She is survived by her beloved husband, Phillip, King of Dor, and her daughter, the Princess Pea.

Rosemary was a simple soul known for her matter-of-fact, yet caring manner. Rosemary had a radiant smile and unadorned beauty. Her bright eyes sparkled like the stars in the evening sky. She delighted in reading stories her daughter after dinner. Sometimes, if you listened carefully, you could hear them laughing as they composed their own stories about their adventures in the kingdom. On many occasions, the pair would set out on horseback to explore the land. Villager Rose Gardenia recalls one day when the queen and princess stopped by her restaurant, The Tasty Tureen, for lunch. "Her Majesty's eyes lit up when she tasted the chicken and watercress soup," recalls Gardenia.

Rosemary worked tirelessly to promote literacy in the Kingdom of Dor. She felt that every citizen, even in the remote villages, deserved the opportunity to learn to read and write. King Phillip and Queen Rosemary were especially proud of the fact that their kingdom contained more libraries than any other kingdom in the region.

King Phillip met Rosemary at a violin concert held in one of the many castle gardens. At the time, Phillip was still Prince of Dor. Rosemary's father, Basil, was a family friend of Phillip's father, King Albert. King Phillip remembers the moment he set eyes upon the lovely Rosemary. "I knew from that moment that she would become my wife. The best days of my life were the days spent with Rosemary."
