Ann and Sal,
I had been thinking about your mother just a few days ago and am so sorry to hear about her passing.
I will always remember how she made a place for me at the kitchen table, how much she fed me, no matter when I showed up, even when I wasn't hungry.....and always enjoyed every bite.
I remember the fun times I shared with her and Mike. Mary will always have a special place in my heart.
