If you met Rosemary you knew that she loved caring for the children under her care. She was tireless and fierce on their behalf. I enjoyed working with her at Camp Aldersgate and I am so saddened by her passing. RIP Rosemary. â¤ï¸

Goodbye to the kind, caring nurse who helped to look after me 45 years ago in Kirkcaldy, who then became my very good friend.
We had some great trips during my visits to Little Rock and lots of good laughs along the way.
I miss our long chats, putting the world to rights, already.
Sleep well my wee friend.

Dear Rosemary it’s hard to believe you have gone to join the angels above. We had been good friends for almost forty years. My daughter thought of you as an auntie. Fly high in the sky above with your parents, Angela and of course catch up with the famous Samantha. Miss you so much but you are healed at last. See you one day.

What to say. I will always love you and will wait to see you one day. Your little cherubs will grow to know and remember what a fun and caring person you were. So many good memories and my next cruise I'll pretend you are with me. Not just a friend but "Gramma" to my babies. Time is such a thief of joy. No more pain or suffering â¤ï¸

Rosemary, so long old friend, its been many, many years since we were at ACH and you took over care and love of Samantha so she would stop waking my newborn up by barking at the leaves moving in the yard!!!! Haha.
I know you are united with her and every other person, baby and animal you loved. R.I.P. old friend.

Missing you already. I remember growing up together and your desire to enter nursing. You finally achieved it and was dedicated to it. You suffered terribly in the last few years with back pain, yet returned prior to Xmas 2021. You are now united with Mother, Father and Samantha.
