Although I had not seen her since 1977-1978, I always remembered her because Rosemary hired me when I was 17 years old, freshly graduated from high school, to work in the office of Riverside Rest Home. My first job and first boss. She liked that we shared the same name. I never forgot her. She was very good to me. May she rest in peace.

Cathy- I was saddened to hear of your Mother's passing. She and my Mom enjoyed each other so much at the Day Out Program and especially at the Concerts on The Common. She was a very nice woman.

Dear Cathy,
My deepest sympathy to you & your family. I will always remember your Mom and her purchasing Christmas cards from me yearly when I was soliciting the neighborhood as a young girl. May her smile, love and fond memories stay locked within your hearts.
