Jean, Rosalie, Richard, Bobby and Michael:
We will miss Aunt Mary deeply, she was such a warm and loving person. Always shared her beautiful smile with whomever she came in contact with. She was so full of compliments and always made you feel welcome and loved. Aunt Mary was such a special person to me and so perfect in every way. I will also miss her Easter Bread and Pound cake but most of all, we will miss you Aunt Mary. Be happy in Heaven Sweet Angel, your pain is over. You were the best of the best. Love and Miss you. xoxo

To me Mrs Spadaro was a second Mom, she was so warm, always happy, so welcoming and she was a great cook. She will be missed by many but not forgotten.
Please know that I am with you all in spirit on Tuesday and sorry that I cannot be there in person to give you all a big hug.
Love,

My condolences to Bobby, Rosalie and the entire Spadaro Family - while I only knew your mom for a short time, that was all it took to realize what a sweet, special lady she was; and to realize how special you both were in your loving care for her. I'll always be sure to get something to eat,(as she always told me to! - Bobby will see to that), and whenever I put on my shoes, I will certainly think of her!! Dance in heaven with your husband, Mrs. Spadaro, wearing your fanciest shoes!
Luv to all....Shelly
