Rosemary worked in Student Placement

at Loyola and found numerous great jobs for me and my firends during

1956-58. My cousin, Eileen O'Hearn worked with her and was a good friend. Down through the years, I would check in on Rosemary and take her to lunch. She was such a sweetheart and such a good person in spite of her handicap. She was always interested in you and your family and what you were doing. She was responsible for the success of many, many Loyola students. I'm sorry that I haven't seen or talked to her in recent years. I will never forget her. May god bless her with a special place in heaven.



Her friend, Joe Dietrich

Having working across the hall from Rosemary back in the Early 70's. I got to know Rosemary very well. She was a very dear friend and was saddened by her loss. My prayers are with Rosemary. And will always keep her in my heart.
