All my good memories of my childhood center around Mrs. Cusumano. It almost seems like I spent more time in the Cusumano home than I did in my own. I will always appreciate the kindness and joy I found there.

To JoAnn and the Cusumano children,
I have such fond memories of Mr. and Mrs. Kemoll at my grandparent's house. They had such lively parties and enjoyed life fully!
I remember the cooking classes at the farm with Mary Grace and JoAnn teaching us how to make ravioli. I always enjoyed hearing about what my cousins were doing and what was going on at Kemoll's. Please accept Sr. Pauline and my sincere sympathy. She was a great woman!

Condolences to the Cusumano/Kemoll family.
While watching news on 5, I was fortunate enough to see Frank's touching tribute to his mother.
I thought about the many dinners I enjoyed at Kemolls, both personal and business dinners.
We, St. Louisans, were lucky to have dozens of excellent Italian restaurants, and St. Louis had the top two in the United States. Kemoll's was one of those two.
It was world class, and it attracted many out of town
celebrities.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Cusumano family upon the death of your mom and grandmother, Mary Grace. Her life is an inspiration to women of today. I hope our generation, and generations of women to come, never loose site of the values of family, church, community and hard work which were so manifested in her life. We are so grateful for the warm way the Cusumano family welcomed us to St Louis when we first moved here and didn't know anyone. My heartfelt prayers and condolences for Laura, Manny, Daniel, Grace, Frank Jr., Marc, Joe, Doug, and Ellen as you face this very difficult time. Love from the Schilders, Janine, Ben Nick and Brooks

My condolences to Frank and Doug Cusumano and the entire Cusumano and Kemoll families. I love Kemoll“s, a place where my family has dined many times, from well before I was born. I also greatly appreciate the excellent sports reporting by Frank and wine advice from Doug. This family has enriched my life and that of the entire St.Louis community for many years. I am sorry for your loss and grateful for the life of Mary Cusumano.

Heartfelt condolences to the Cusumano/Kemoll Family. I was blessed to know Mary Grace during my 14+ years working at Kemoll's. She was a
"true inspiration to all" and left a Legacy that cannot be matched. She had more spunk for her size and age than many of us put together. I know she will be sorely missed, but her spirit will live on thru her family. RIP Mary Grace, you earned many crowns. Marsha Smith (and family)

My sincere condolences to the Cusumano family. I didn't know Mary Grace well, but I grew up going to Kemoll's with my family since it was on North Grand. She must have been an amazing woman to have raised such a wonderful family. May her memory be a blessing.
