Mrs. Rosso had the patience of a saint as she endured eight years of scouting with some of St. Peter's finest scouts. I often think about how lucky we truly were to have her devote that personal time to all of us, as I see girls now who aren't afforded those opportunities. I hope she's running around some cabin in Heaven, making apple pies and pizzas in pie irons, and she closes her nights out with some wild games of Flash Light City. How did she ever put up with all of us??? Until we meet again....

Don and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Marge. She was a rock -- like the church to which she belonged--and I/we feel privileged to have had her in our lives and among my friends. Our deepest sympathy to all your family on the departure of this extraordinary human being, She has supported us all. Rita and Don Blanford
