Daniel Shepard
Rosemary was a Special Aide teacher for more than 20 years. She was a very caring, and very loved lady, by her co-workers and her special needs students at the Bullock School and at Bayshore High School for many years.
Her special and loyal friend Ginny had never once heard Rosemary complain about her job. She truly loved all her students, and the love was returned in so many ways. Rosemary loved children and proved it by the care she gave so willingly to the special needs students.
During her long illness she stood her ground. She was a very strong minded lady. At her toughest times she somehow always managed to smile. At the very end she became helpless. She was a reside at Brookdale Senior Living in Bradenton, Florida. To the staff, residents, and especially the nursing department, a very special thanks to Fran and Autumn. All of them gave her the attention and the love she needed.
Her special person Ginny thought the world of her Rosemary, rest in peace.
