Mrs. Baird--we always called her mom growing up--will be greatly missed and always a part of my wonderful memories growing up. My thoughts and prayers are with you Mary, Michael, and Mark, and your children/grandchildren. Your mom is one of those special angels who touched the hearts of everyone she met. She always made you feel welcome and loved. God bless you all.

So sad to learn of my Aunt Theresa's passing. Years ago- when I was a kid- she would take me places around town( Euclid,Ohio) and what I remember most are shopping, "gabbing" and country music. More recently, Theresa was an important telephone pal with her older sister Dorothy, sharing cooking tips and reminiscing. To my cousins - who I met only years ago - my heart goes out to you in these sad times. John Smolinsky
