It is with great sadness that we inform you that Mrs. Rosemary Ross of Covington, KY, died on September 20, 2010. Rosemary was the sister of Brother Joe Stander and the Aunt of Father Kip Stander. At the suggestion of her brother, she made The Marian Library her 'favorite charity', and over the years made many generous contributions. Since her brother's death, her contributions were "in memory of Bro. Joseph Stander." In early September, we received a contribution from her, and then contributions began coming in her memory. She had designated in her obituary that memorial donations were to be made to The Marian Library. In your prayers, please remember this very generous lady and her family.
