Bill and John we were sad to hear about Aunt Maries passing. We have great memories of her and will hold her in our hearts forever. One memory I have was when Aunt Marie was visiting us on the day of my high school prom and she insisted that I wear one of her pearl rings. Later that year she bought me a replica of her ring I wear it today and think of her fondly. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Becky Tessari Chavez
