So sorry for your loss. Mary was always so nice to me when I was growing up. I would see her at Gram Ma Pascuzzi's house. We also all went to Australia together. We had alot of fun on the plane, and alot of laughs on that long trip.

Growing up next door to the Scalzos on Bates Place was like living next door to family. She was a great lady and a loving friend to my mom and dad. A silly memory, perhaps, but I think of her whenever we make meatballs. Hers were the best I've ever eaten. I've tried all my life to duplicate them but to no avail... We all loved your grandmother.
