Dear Donna, Judy, and Family: I will always have a special place in my heart for my Auntie Mary. SHE was a "doll".She'd call everyone that, but she was that. Always there and being loving and supporting.I will miss her, but know she is there with all our relatives and many others and is truly at peace. Love, Cousin Linda

Dear Judy and Vince, Donna and Joe,
We will all miss Aunt Mary. Thinking of her and Uncle Andy, and all of the Perri family brings back many smiles, laughter . . . and yes, tears. I am forever grateful for being part of the Perri Family. We have much love for each other. Life passes but love remains . . . and what is beautiful is we all meet again. Aunt Mary is again with Uncle Andy and all her "boys."

To my Family, I wish I could take some of the pain away but I can't, please know I'm praying for ALL of you, Maria was and is an ANGEL, I've been remembering her phone calls to me from Donna's house, we would spend a long time laughing, she seemed to always call just when I needed a laugh, she touched so many people in so many ways.

To my Godmother,
You were there for me at my Baptism. You gave me a special statue
of an angel which sits in my sanctuary at home.
Love, peace and prayers always,
