I had the pleasure of meeting Rosemary and Bruce over the past year while visiting Homesteadcare with my therapy dog, Sadie (St John Therapy Pets). They were a truly devoted couple, always together, and I enjoyed our warm and thoughtful conversations, especially about their life and connection to St John. My heartfelt condolences to their family during this time.
