I met Aunt Mary back when Patti and I were in High School. Aunt Mary was always proud of her nieces and nephew and always spoke of them with such pride. All those years in Brooklyn you could always hear her love when she mentioned Patti, Paul, Karen and Suzette and as marriage and children extended her family it extended her love for all of them. I can remember Louise, Claire and Mary all being so warm and welcoming to me from the first day I met them and it always remained that way, No doubt Aunt Mary was grateful for the move to California and the opportunity to remain close to Patti, who did a wonderful job in overseeing Aunt Mary's life, care and well being. The pictures shown made me smile and they express her happiness in times spent with people in Patti's life and who grew to love Aunt Mary also. I'm sure many happy times with Lindsey and Sara, her care givers and along with others over the years. Although living in California Aunt Mary's love for her brother Anthony, Paul and Joann, their children Paul, Michael, Noah and Christina, Suzette,and John and their daughter Jennifer remained strong as her love for Patti did. My fond memories will remain strong. Sincerest condolences to Aunt Mary's family for your loss. With Love, Carol
