Alan,Richard & Families,

Aunt Mary was loved and will be missed very much. We were planning on visiting her when Jamie & I come up in a few weeks. However, I am happy that we did get to visit with her two years ago. Her mind was sharp and she even beat the girls at cards.

I always remember being welcomed at the Cape and, as a child, sitting at her kitchen table on Zenith Drive eating her Ritz Cracker Apple Pie.

Dear Alan, Richard & Families,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom, my Dear Aunt Mary. She was a wonderful, thoughtful and charismatic person who could engage in meaningful conversation and was truly passionate about her convictions. She stood for the truth, and had no reservations in making it known. I admired her candor, and most certainly I feel a deep and abiding loss, as not only was she someone that I deeply admired, but we also shared the same name. I am proud to have been her niece, and I am confident that her good works on this earth, will be rewarded by the good Lord in Heaven. Please do not despair, this is not the end, but a new beginning for a wonderful lady, who instead of serving those here on earth, she will now be serving God in his Kingdom in Heaven.
May that knowledge bring you peace and comfort.
My Sincerest Condolences,
Your Loving Cousin, Mary Kay Elloian

Judy and I share in your loss. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

I remember fondly many occasions but especially my early years (like the month I spent with my Uncle and Aunt Mary ----living with them on the second floor on Park Ave. near Pleasant Street) living with them during Christmas (my mother was probably having a "nervous break down") and how Auntie Mary tried so hard to make it a great Christmas for me .....this was long before either of you came along.....ah, this is one of the few things I can still remember....just a joke guys, I am not that old or senile yet... I loved my Auntie Mary and Uncle Vars who treated me and my friends to a fancy cook out one summer when we stopped by unannounced.... Larry and Matt still remind me of that time to this day.
I hope to see and talk with you soon.
Love
Cousin Bobbie
