Auntie, you were the best aunt anyone could ask for...you put a roof over my head and my childrens head for 15 years...always was there for us..always put everyone first...I will always remember the Sunday afternoon pizza's and doughboys...the car rides to where ever my friends and I wanted to go when I was younger...the way you always made us laugh...you folded clothes like no one else can, swept the floors and the rugs and made beds that you can bounce a quarter off of...you will be missed for sure...you touched many hearts...I love you forever

Our deepest Sympathy and Condolences to all of you over the loss of your Aunt.

Although she was a second cousin to us "Calise" children, we will always fondly remember her as 'Aunt Mary'. She was always so inviting and loving to everyone who walked in her home and I will always remember the smells of a fresh pot of coffee from stove percolator and always a 'home-baked dessert' on the table.

God Bless her heart and May she rest in Peace with her family in Heaven. I'm sure my Father, Domenic, is anxiously waiting his turn to welcome her with a long awaited hug!

"This saying is trustworthy: If we have died with him we shall also live with him."
2 Timothy 2:11

Sincerely and with love,

Jennie Calise & Family - Fayetteville, WV.

Auntie, I will miss you so much!! You were the best aunt ever, even if you made me nuts everyday I would still rather have you here with us.I'm so sorry I ran out of patients with you at times.

Everyone should have an auntie Calise.We are going to miss the crazy things you did and nobody in our family will ever have a clean floor again. Nobody could sweep a floor, make beds or fold clothes like you.You are in our hearts forever.We will always have a sliver of cake ,a BLT and tell Eddie to take a "short walk off a long bridge" just for you!!!!
