Rosemarie was well-known for her amusing cartoons featuring “Dr. NO” . I made friends with her after joining this forum . We found that we lived 1/2 mile away from eachother . I will miss her as this forum will. A good soul who had also suffered through lack of treatment for P.A.

For Rosemarie
What a lovely tribute! You too are an amazing lady - she loved her flowers!
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. She was having terrible problems over the past few/several months and couldn't get the help she needed, often with Drs just dismissing her because of her advanced years and gender.
I am so pleased to know that you lived so close and were able to support her - she was wonderful on here and knowing that you are too and saw her really helps me to manage this sad news.
Did she give you her pictures? She wanted to entrust them to someone who understood what they were about and who would appreciate them.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all who had the opportunity of knowing her. A remarkable lady.
I have flowers in my garden that I now always associate with her and always will. May she be surrounded by flowers for ever more...
Thank you deniseinmilden . A lovely kind tribute to Rosemarie . Yes her cartoons and flowers were her trademark here !
Along with her sensible approach and terrific encouragement, friendliness and kindness.I'm so glad you're still here and didn't leave. Thank you!
Rosemarie was such a lovely lady. She loved her garden and enjoyed our summer garden parties.
She came to our meetings in Dursley brought by her dear friend .
We are so sad to hear of her death. Our condolences to her family.
We will miss you dear friend. Your battles are over but we thank you for your support of others in our quest for better diagnosis and treatment.

Thank you Rosemarie for all the support you gave to us. And the lovely distractions as well. I am sorry that I never expressed that directly to you. As we can talk about our insight and frustrations all day long (and some middle of the night rants!) but a breather for a smile and a laugh has the utmost importance.
Thanks again wedgewood. May you find some comfort in the memories that you made together.
oh gosh how terribly sad and shocking! So so sorry to all who knew her and loved her. Thank goodness you were so close. My thoughts are with you all. Such a helpful fun lady and a huge loss.

so sorry to hear this sad news …. Condolences to the family xx and your very one who knew her in this group family … xx
Deepest sympathy to you and her family.
That is very sad news.
I loved her cartoons, and her flowers, her stories about her life. When I first joined the forum, and did not have a computer of my own, I would use the library -and photocopied a few of her cartoons, just to cheer me up. Generous, funny, indomitable. Her personality shone through in all her posts here.
wedgewood - Can some of her cartoons be reposted here as a tribute to her ? I wouldn't know how to do this - but someone here will, I'm sure.
Sending love to you and to Rosemarie's family.
Thank you so much Cherylclaire. Yes Rosemarie’s cartoons were great . I wouldn’t know how to retrieve and post them . You message is so much appreciated . It will be passed on to her family !
Take care x
At present they are still on her posts .I went back and read a few .
Perhsos someone csn put them together as a tribute / rememberance .
A good idea
Would be lovely.
Otherwise, I'll just do what you did.
To wedgewood
Were you able to find any of her Beginner1 messages? She had an issue with that account and it looks like it's all gone 😪
That's really odd. I've just looked again and now csnt find them??
I definitely read her last post a month ago . ? Yesterday
Also looked at some Dr No cartoons
Pity If now gone.
You can find her newer posts and a few Dr No's via healthunlocked.com/user/Beg...
Xx
Did you see this one ?
No I’d not seen that one ! Great . Thank you !
I printed off these cartoons from Beginner 1's posts - and transferred them by taking photos.
I remember having the conversation about there being a book in the making there....
So sad to hear, my thoughts and sincere condolences to you and everyone who knew and loved Rosemarie. You both and so many other kind souls on this forum will never know how much you have helped myself and countless others with advice, encouragement and humour, I for one am eternally grateful 💔
Thank you NisajuBlue Appreciate your message. .
So sorry to hear that, I always enjoyed her cartoons. My sincere sympathy to you as her dear friend and to her family. Her kindness and humour will be sadly missed xx
So very sorry to hear of Rosemary’s passing. She sounds a great character, although I didn’t know her. A sense of humour with her Dr No’s, when we all struggle in different ways withPA, is a true gift. Thank you beginner 1 & 2 for making a difference to us. Safe in Gods hands xx

Thank you wedgewood for conveying this very sad news. Re-reading her eloquent posts helped to remind me of the amazing person she was. My condolences to you and her family and friends - and all those here who will miss her constant kindness. Laced with humour her kindness was a wonderful cocktail - inspiring us all 💖
So sad her earlier posts were lost - but not forgotten ...
Very sad news. Long Covid complication with untreated PA is fatal. Still I think PA patient are in need of colonial antibody infusion not vaccination because body immune system weakness due to long term B12 deficiency can't handle it. Condolences to her family.
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. I remember some of her posts, and although I never had direct contact with her, I recall the photos of her lovely flowers and her cartoons.
She will be missed by many.
Remember this wedgewood ?
She said that whenever she was angry, she'd do a cartoon.
Except once, when instead she made an apple pie with the name of the offending person who had angered her, together with a very rude word, made of pastry, on the top.
Then invited a couple of friends round to help her eat it !
Thank you for reminding me Cherylclaire . I’m compiling a little memory bank which i shall give to her daughter about her PA forum life She doesn’t know about this other life her Mum had .
I have printed out every tribute from so many members .
A lovely thought. Hope her daughter will gain some comfort, knowing how much she meant to us here.
She will be amazed because she didn’t know about the forum !
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Dr No got me through some rough times and always put a smile on my face. She will be missed ❤️
condolences to her family and friends. Very sad
I was so sorry to read that Rosemarie had passed away.
I hope she knew that her kindness and humour made such a difference to me and others on the forum. I really appreciated how she tried to keep our spirits up in the lockdowns with her lovely flower photos and at other times with her cartoons.
Please pass on my condolences to her family, she was a special lady.
Thank you so much Sleepybunny . I have down loaded and printed out all the condolences that were sent in for Rosemarie . I sent them to her daughter , who was very touched . Yours will be added . I go to Rosemarie’s funeral on Thursday 1st December , and the kind messages , of which there were a huge number , will be mentioned.
Thank you again .
I am devastated to have missed this announcement wedgewood
Thank you for mentioning it Nackapan
I have a "collection" of Rosemarie's cartoons and love her "Miss Mabel" and "Dr NO!" characters. Rosemarie even "personalised" one for me.
Thank you for your message Clivealive. Rosemarie and I became good friends , after accidentally finding out that we lived in the same town and only about 1/2 mile from eachother . We used to meet about once a month at favourite pubs in the Cotswolds , mostly sitting outside even in winter , so that she could chain -smoke . She knew she should give up smoking , but she was addicted and could not .
Her health was never good , but she remained defiant and tackled all problems with courage ( except she could not give up the ciggies !
She was a talented artist.
Great that she made a cartoon for you !
She is so missed on the forum and her passing has left a hole in my life .
Thank you and I am so sorry that you are missing your friend Rosemarie.
She and I emailed on occasion and I loved her sense of humour which I treasure in my collection of her cartoons one of my favourites is the one below.
Take care and look after yourself.
