Dear Char, Frank, Charles, Tom and Paul,

I am so sad. My heart is heavy. My warm thoughts and prayers are with all of you, now.

You know your Mom has always been very, very special to me...since I was a very young girl at Cathedral School. When in the fifth grade...I knew who I would choose to be my Confirmation Sponsor. Your Mom has always been a strong role model to me. She has always reminded me of my Mom, too.

We all send our deepest sympathy and loving condolences to you and your families.

Marie and Charlie are together again, now...looking over all of us. Please find peace in this and in the very sweet way your Mom passed in her sleep on a very, very special day.

God Bless all of you!

I Love You,

Lu DePerro

I have known Marie since 1960 when she was working for Dr.Capraro and I was his patient - very young, very scared as I was very sick then and Marie was his everything girl. I was always impressed with her sincerity and her work ethic. She was an absolutely wonderful person and always showed a very caring way about her. I stayed with her right up until her retirement and missed her very much. She always had a smooth running office. Just wanted to let you know she is and always will be fondly remembered.

My deepest sympathy to Charlene and Tommy and the rest of the family. I met your Mother when she worked for Dr. Capraro and i started working at Millard Gates many, many years ago. We remained friends ever since, though not seeing each other as much as I would have liked in the past 10 years or so. Marie was a great lady and someone i was proud to call my friend for almost 40 years. God Bless you all.
