Not sure what to say?

Robert and David-
You both did a wonderful job of capturing the essence of Aunt Mary in your speeches. She was the matriarch of the Riggio clan and did so much for so many people -in particular, Grandma, her two sisters & their families. She hosted many Riggio family Christmass and was always the perfect hostess, immediately asking, what can I get you to drink as soon as you walked in the door.
She was my dear Aunt & Godmother and I will miss hearing, Hi Suzy what do you know?

Aunt Mary was always smiling and nice to myself and 2 brothers that I will always remember. Rest in peace Aunt Mary.

We are very sorry to hear of your tremendous lost.. we hope you find peace during this difficult time and know you are loved and prayed for. love, John and Carol

The most loving person I have ever known, next to my own Mother. Condolences to family.

Our thoughts and prayers to Mary's family.
