Cheryl,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I will never forget the times when we would stop by and she always made us sit down and have something to eat. She always seemed to have pasta, meatballs, sauce and other delicious things just waiting for us. I'll always remember her laugh and great sense of humor.
My deepest sympathies to you, Peter, Michael, Cristina and the rest of your family.

Mary was one of the nicest, most fun loving people we have had the pleasure of knowing. Over the years we shared many laughs with her around the holiday dinner table. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
