Gone yet not forgotten,
although we are apart,
God has you in His keeping,
we have you in our hearts.

Mrs. Mary Lorusso, 03/25/45 - 11/02/09

To the Greatest Principal there ever was:
  We may now find comfort in knowing you are in God's loving arms. We will miss you.
Love Always, your staff and students, present and past

Heaven has a new angel in Mary. Her time here was spent doing what she loved--teaching the children. I was blessed to have her in my life, first as teacher, then principal, and finally as a friend. Her memory will live on through the halls of St. Bernadette. God Bless You, Mary.
--Deb Morgan - Class of 1982

Mary was an angel on earth. She isn't just in the choir of angels now, though--she's leading them in a rousing rendition of Jerusalem, My Destiny! I'll always treasure my memories of the time I was blessed to know her as a co-worker and a friend.
--Theresa Moniot, Parish Administrative Assistant, 11/2002-present

She was the best principal I've ever known. She was my guardian angel at school, and now in heaven. I miss her very much.
--Elizabeth Yauger, Grade 7, West Campus

Mary will be missed. Even as a young teacher at the time, she was always making me feel like a real part of the Tri-Parish Family. I was very sad to see that she had passed. She was a wonderful person who knew just what to say. She had an awesome sense of humor and a smile that could light up a room. We will miss you Mary.

Mrs. Lorusso was a kind and loving person and had a huge impact on me as a child. She led us all with a gentle and caring heart. She will be greatly missed. My condolences to her family and the St. Bernadette community.
