Dave and family; Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Rosemary was a lovely person. We went to Sunday School and sang in the choir together for years at St.John’s Anglican Church in Brussels. Our sincerest sympathy to you all.

To Dave and Steve and Greg and all the Gowings and Wheelers: We can only share in your sadness on the loss of Rosemary. Such a kind soul. Lots of found memories of her working for Hanlon and MacGregor’s office in Brussels. As a youth, I must have mentioned that I thought office nursing ‘looked easy’ and that came back to bite me one day. Rosemary spotted me working in a very hectic ER and stopped to ask, “do you still think this is pretty easy?” She said it with a smile, patted me on the back and then did her little laugh. Telling this makes me smile. She won’t be forgotten.

So sorry for your loss and it was a privilege to know her. To all the grandchildren, “your Grandmother hold such precious memories for all of you and those memories will only become sweeter over time. Thinking of you all during this very difficult time.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Rosemary. We have had many conversations when she was the Nurse in Brussels and also at the Nursing Home in Wingham. Remember the happy times and speak her name often. Blessings to her family. Lucy Hesse

Wheeler and extended families

Dear the wheeler Family,

Hi its Jason Hulzebos from Blyth,Ontario I’m sorry for your guys loss.

Next door neighbours. Wonderful friends and public school classmates. Many fond memories. Rosemary was kind, clever and always update.

Deepest condolences Dave, Steven and Greg. It has been many years since I’ve seen cousin Rosemary, but I always remember her as the sweetest lady. So sorry for your loss.

Dave and family,
Our sincere condolences to all of you at this difficult time.

Dear Dave, Steven/KJ, Greg/Joanne, Grandchildren, Wheeler and Gowing Families (both immediate and extended), my most heartfelt condolences to all of you on the loss of Rosemary. I was Steven and Greg’s babysitter for a number of years as well as a neighbour while growing up, while the Wheeler family lived on the family farm just outside of Brussels. Rosemary always made sure the boys were in bed by the time I arrived so they were pretty easy evenings unless someone woke up (hardly ever!!) Lots of snacks, good TV, and generous pay were bonuses as well. Rosemary was such an asset to the Brussels and area community plus her career choice of nursing impacted even more people. I have often thought of the Wheeler family over the years and hoped Rosemary and Dave would find living in Goderich as wonderful as it was in their two homes in the Brussels area. I leave you with a quote from Maya Angelou (author): “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”. This describes Rosemary and how lucky we all were to have her in our lives. Sincerely, Joyce King (Ireland)

Dave & Family, our deepest sympathy to you. Thinking of you all at this difficult time.

I worked with Rosemary at WDH. Always so kind and understanding. This wonderful lady will be dearly missed. Sincerely Linda McKee

Dave, Steve, Greg, and families,

Hearing of Rosemary’s passing brought so many wonderful childhood memories to mind. Rosemary was like a “second mother” who loved us. It was to your home that I wanted to go to when my sister was born, and my childhood memories of time spent at your home on the farm still make me smile. I always felt like family when we were around you all and, though many years have passed since we were all together, I still think of you as family. Rosemary was so very kind and her warmth will always be remembered. I am so very sorry for your loss. Rosemary was a wonderful human and was so very loved. Thinking of you all. May all the wonderful memories you have give you comfort at this difficult time.
