Rosie I was so sad to hear the news today that you had passed away, from a conversation with my neighbour who’s children attend the school, many years have passed since our boys were small and I met you at the school gates at St Thomas as they nervously started their first day, and then a few years later we were both expecting our daughters together and shared our newborn experiences, and through the years that followed if we crossed paths on sawyers hall lane we would have a quick catch up , you were a very special lady and always had a smile and time for everyone, Love to all your family and friends at this very sad time. Xx

Dear Rosie, Thank you for all the happy memories at St. Thomas when the boys were little. Thank you for all you did for William much appreciated and will not be forgotten. We had a lot of fun and you always made me laugh. Your memory will live on in Richard, Tom, Matthew and Kathryn. You were a true inspiration. With love to the family x

Dearest Rosie, I always remember your mum describing you as an enabler and that is what springs immediately to mind most about you – your ability to empathise and put yourselves in others’ shoes even though you might not have actually experienced what they were going through, but instinctively knew what to say or do to make things better. If only I had that half your skill now to help those you have left behind! Thank you for being a wonderful friend, cards and drinking partner, godmother to our boys and all-round special person. God Bless.
