Mary Catherine Rillo

Dear Debbie and Al,
I have such fond memories of Aunt Mary. She was always so kind to me, always interested in catching up with me. A warm and lovely presence. The story of how your parents and my parents met amazes me. My mother Adele and Mary were 13 year old cousins riding their bikes in Taylor Park, Millburn on a Saturday afternoon. They both had white button down shirts, rolled up dungarees and white sneakers on; their long dark hair pulled into pony tails. My father Ed and his cousin Al were age 15, also in the park riding their bikes. They all stopped on a bridge at the same time. The rest is history. Mary and Al got together. My mother and father got together. Long marriages both!
