	economics from Texas A&I University in Kingsville, and she and

	they found great joy in rearing a family and through their
	worldwide travels; and
	WHEREAS, After teaching junior high school for two years,
	Rosina fully devoted herself to rearing her children and shared

	WHEREAS, A woman of deep spiritual faith, Rosina has been
	an active parishioner at Blessed Sacrament Church for more than
