NOTES : I worked with Rosemary when I was a staff nurse on the floors. Bill always said if something happened to me, Rosemary would be his next choice. Our patients used to occasionally confuse us, and I was always very complimented. She is a warm, kind-hearted woman who is very creative and is an excellent cook.
