Mary Rizzo Fertitta

I worked in the activities dept at Chateau De Notre Dame. I loved Ms. Mary! I would always visit her and give her kisses on the cheek. She would always say, "Thanks for the kiss". She called me her little angel. I'm so glad that I was able to be part of her life. She will be missed.

Ms. Fertitta must have been a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, as I only know her granddaughter Debbie and she is all of those things. I'm sorry I never had the chance to meet her, and send Deb and her family my warmest regards. Much love - amy

Please accept our condolences from the children of Harold Nichols. He rented with Ms. Fertitta's family on Foy Street when he first arrived in New Orleans from Alabama. Not only did we shop in the furniture store on Canal Street, but we paid frequent visits to Ms. Fertitta and to her siblings when we were children. We have many fond memories of all of them. What an incredible family!

Hey lil Deb, you are in my thoughts, and I hope you are okay. I am here for you. I know it is sad to lose someone, but I try and think about the good things I experienced with them and know they are in a good place.

Dear Vince and Marie
You are both in my prayers. I am sorry I could not be with you last week.
Love you,

My Dear Dear Friend Debbie and her lovely family, My hearfelt prayers have been with you all for months now. I pray for comfort to fill your hearts at this difficult time.
Debbie, I love you more than words.

Mr. Vincent and Mrs. Marie, As I have had the privilege of a glimpse into what it would be like to be in your family it only reassures me that Grams had a wonderful life full of love. I miss ya'll so much and hope to see you soon. Please know that I am thinking of ya'll all the time. Your Ash.

Vince and Marie-

I know Debbie told you my thoughts and prayers are with you all - its easy to see where you got your "spunk" from Vince! I was not fortunate enough to know your mother for many years, but it was so easy to see that she was truly a wonderful woman. Mary was truly a gift to any of us who were lucky enough to have met her! All my love.

My dearest sympathies to the entire fertitta family. Love,
Gregory Gatto
