INDEX

[N22131] From the story of his wife Rose
When the feisty Italian Rose Rallo met and married Army Master Sergeant Norbert Grzesiak, it was meant to be. But sadly, children were not. Norbert came back from the war unable to father children, so they adopted through Catholic Charities. And then tragedy struck. Norbert died of a brain tumor. In her grief, Rose found love again when Catholic Charities asked her to help by taking in babies. “Because they needed foster mothers for these babies and I said ‘Yeah!’ It was life-saving,” said Rose. “I had no time to worry about Rose. There was always one or two babies crying. People don't always realize how wonderful babies are. They save your life.” Posted: Fri 6:44 PM, May 11, 2018
