Sorry for your loss.
Aunt Mary was a strong and couragous women.She will be missed by all my family. Still remember going down to Wareham for all the family parties years ago and your mother would alway have a ton of food and made sure eveybody had something to eat. My mother would always talk about how Mary would always say to her there is Paulies Cathy. Well heaven has just received another angel,who knows how to cook a great Italian meal and i am sure my father, Uncle Al, Joey,Richard,Louie and Aunt Susan have her cooking already. Nana proably looking over her shoulder and telling her what to do and Grandpa just sitting there saying whens the food going to be ready.
We will miss you
