With great sadness, we share the passing of our beloved founder, Rosemary Swan.

We are devastated to be delivering this news on behalf of Rosemary’s family. This is an incredibly difficult time for them. They know how much Rosemary was loved in our community and understand that many of us want to offer support. At this time, we kindly ask that you respect their privacy, allowing them the time and space to grieve as a family.

We will share any further information from Rosemary’s family as it becomes available.
