Rosie passed away on the evening of May 10th 2012 after an illness which she bore with grace.

This site was originally set up to keep Rosie's friends updated in the final months of her illness (please click here for posts from April, and here for posts from May). The comments left by friends and family during those weeks, as well as emails sent, gave her much joy and strength.

- For readings and music from Rosie's service, please click here

- To view pictures of Rosie, please click here (you may send additional ones to the email below, which I can upload)

Over the past days Rosie has continued to get more tired and weak, however she is still making the most of each day. We have finished the ‘microrrelatos’ book, and last night we played her favourite Pavarotti songs.

I have been staying with her overnight for a few days, to check things are OK. She is very well cared for and last night slept very well. I can attest to the concert of mooing cows and chirping birds that greet her each dawn!
