My sincere sympathy is extended to the Carraccio family. Karen grew up with my sister so I have known her for a very long time. I think her mother did a wonderful job raising such a friendly, caring, devoted and hardworking woman and I hope my daughter grows up with the same qualities Karen has.

I was very lucky to have Maz as a mother in law. She was funny, insightful and caring. Every time I think of Maz I can't help but smile. If there are shore houses in heaven I'm sure she's on the front porch of one telling those great stories and making others laugh and smile. I'll miss you.

Maz was a great person and was loved by many people. She was very caring and kind hearted. She was very lucky to have Karen and Lori take care of throughout the years and especially in her last few weeks dealing with the cancer. They were like her angels. I love her and will miss her.

Mazzie was always the first person to greet you at the pols and was our rep for Burholme. She liked her parties, especially Irish Weekend when I ran in to her at one of the bars. Being a former neighbor, I could go on and on from walking the dogs to how Maz tore the collars on her t-shirts. It's the little things we remember. From the Gross Family, our condolences to the Carraccio Family.
