It's been two years since you passed, Mom, but the memories of your last weeks are still fresh. We're comforted to know you're with Dad and the rest of the family now. Someday, we'll all be reunited. Until then, we have our photos and stories we share.

Love,

Whenever I came back to Poughkeepsie, I remember our trips to NYC. I usually sat with Mary on the train. She shared memories of how she and Tom met. What a wonderful marriage they had. I loved hearing about it. Now they are together. Love you Mary.

Tom , Julie and Family,
Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with you during this time of your loss. Aunt Mary was always such a kind and thoughtful person. Some of my fondest memories are our visits to New York visiting your family, where your mother always made me feel welcomed and loved. May you find comfort that she's in the presence of God with the love of her life, Uncle Tom. Love to you all, Tom and Trish DeBellis

I will never forget all the love and attention, as if I was their child along with Julie and Tom. Mary and Tom Ranalli took so good care of me when I would come to visit. I remember her deep dish pizza that she made/bought, and it was absolutely delicious. She is rejoicing finally in heaven with her husband and her mom and dad and my mom and dad and all the beloved!!!!! rest in peace, Mary....we will see you soon, love, Chuck, and Vita Maria
