I was so saddened to hear of this, she was a beautiful lady, always had a smile on her face! I first met MaryLou 50 years ago when I came to work at Gino's at the age of 15, she was the kindest person I ever met. I always said it was one of my favorite places to work, because the Belletiere's treated you like family when you worked for them. I remember babysitting for her beautiful girls and playing with them when they were in the restaurant. My heart goes out to all of you. May our dear Lord give you all the peace you will need during this very difficult time. Cherish all the wonderful memories of this beautiful woman❤

"Aunt" Mary Lou, what all us "kids" called her at work, was an amazing woman, with a contagious smile and a huge heart. Everyone of us who had the pleasure of knowing her was fortunate. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Belletieri family.
