We ment Mary when we bought her home in North Hatfield. We actually visited for some time with her in the porch. She had some lovely stories to tell about her life in her home. I will always remember her saying how she wanted a wonderful family to grow up in her house and how privilege we were that she wanted our family to grow up in her home. Thank you. God bless & Rest in Peace.

Cioci Mary, you will always hold a special place in my heart, as aunt, Godmother, and role model. You are the reason I became a nurse. I will always remember you and Uncle Johnny as two people who loved and cared for me. There are not many childhood and beyond memories that do not include Cioci Mary and Uncle Johnny. I wish I was there to be with everyone, especially David, at this very difficult time. Being so far away at these times is hard. Please know that I am thinking of you, David, and all of your family and friends.
With love,
Patti, chuck, Ben, Jeff, Michael and Clayton
