Sister Virginia Maria Duross

To the Sisters of St. Joseph and all those who loved Sr. Virginia.

God bless Sister Virginia, her family, friends and fellow Sisters of St. Joseph. Her dedication to the language and her students helped me discover I was a (latent) English major in College. Thank you.

My condolences to Sr. Virginia's family. Her class gave me the courage to speak to others and to express myself creatively.

My love and prayers to her family.....

My condolences to Sr. Virginia's family and friends. It was very sad to hear of her passing. She was a great teacher and a wonderful person. You are all in my prayers.
