Mary had a large family and still had time to be part of the Music Ministry at Holy Family and share her gift of voice with all of our parishioners. May God Bless her always as she enters her eternal life of joy with our Lord with the music of the Heavenly Angels. She will be missed.
With Love, Kathy Zullo and Family

Dearest Cousins Barbara, Bob, Joe, Jeff, Mark, Susie and Carol,
I wish we could be there, but you are in our thoughts and prayers. Aunt Mary was so special to me, because she always made me and Liz feel as if we were part of a big, loving family. We will miss her and how she made us all aware of how special family is. Love, Nancy

I loved this dear lady so much.It was a joy being with her and loved to shop for the items she requested at markets and drugstores. We enjoyed the music she chose to reminisce about the older entertainers. I shall miss her terribly. My condolences to all the family. Sincerely, Doris Allen
