Our sincere condolences to Mary's family. Ralph and Mary play an important role in my new role at the Salt ponds coalition. We did water testing together

As with Kristen, I was another neighborhood kid in Tockwotten Cove, RI. My parents, Lorraine and Tony, always thought very highly of Mary and Ralph and so did I. I will always remember Mary and Ralph as kind and generous people. Condolences to you, Mark, and the entire Minopoli family. You were blessed with awesome parents.

I was thrilled & honored when Mary asked me to be Godmother for her first...

Mary and her late husband Ralph lived in Rhode Island near the Charleston shore. Mary loved to read and was a volunteer at the local library. She also enjoyed knitting, and would give her knitted socks, hats, and neck scarves as Christmas gifts to my...
