Sending love and sympathy to Rosemary's family following her passing. My therapy dog Emma and I visited her every week at Ashwood Park. We enjoyed our conversations with her, and the treats for Emma!!
She will be missed, but is now free of pain and will always be remembered with love.

Dear Sue, Craig and family,
I was very sorry to read about Rosemary’s death. She was a delightful character and I had many great conversations with her at the bookshop. She and her husband also gave me lovely plants from her garden.
I’m sure you have lots of memories of time spent with her.
Love Bev and Andy Frost
