Dear Charlie and Marisa,
My thoughts and prayers are with you now and always. Her Saint Mary’s college family is deeply saddened to hear of her passing.

The Saint Mary's girls reconnected in Chicago at our group 50th Birthday celebration and Maria made sure we all stayed in touch since. She so enjoyed that trip and wanted to be sure that we planned subsequent birthday events. Oh how she loved...

My dad and Mr. Mignanelli...

Charlie, Marissa & all our Brown cousins,
We so very saddened to learn of Maria-Lisa's passing last week. In the past year or so we had re-connected via Facebook and it was wonderful to reconnect with our Rhode Island cousins. Of course we had never completely lost touch as we had contiued to exchange Christmas cards over the years. Maria-Lisa had been loved by all who knew her and there is doubt that she has arrived at her rightful place in heaven. Hold all the great memories of...
