Dear Paul, Rich, and Ray,
Mary’s enthusiasm for all that she loved, her immense generosity, intelligence and open-mindedness made the world a better place. I will always remember Mary’s love for Puopolos chocolate, mystery novels, dachshunds, working for Weymouth Schools, correct spelling and grammar, volunteering, Bennie’s Italian cuisine, and most of all her family.
With great respect for a wonderful woman,
