In Loving Memory of RITA ZERWAS

Born October 7, 1912, Odebolt, Iowa
Entered Into Rest February 7, 1975 - Carroll, Iowa
Jesus! Mary! Joseph!
Remember Oh most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, here and answer me, Amen.
