Good bye my friend – – thanks for the memories.
Rosemary was the wonderful Mom of my nursing school friend, Barb. At our Sr class dance, unfortunately I drank too much and so I spent the night on the Robinson’s couch! The ” morning after ” Rosemary was at my side beating some kitchen pots together and causing my head to feel worse! It was her way of letting me know that what I did was out of line. She did this with a caring smile on her face and I was grateful as I never over indulged like that again. Thanks, Rosemary for that lesson learned.
