Mary, I have known you virtually all of my life, as has my wife. I remember you working on Arch Street as a very young boy, then at Britean's Market at Auld and Liberty. My father and I used to do alot of maintenance on your home and I used to mow your yard out of the kindness of my heart. Your mom, sister Rosie and you were the three most kind hearted and loving individuals I had ever known. Never a bad thing to say to anyone and always a kindness to all. My mother-in-law says that you found my wife Terri wandering around the streets by Britean's Market, in the nude when she was a toddler. They had been living in the flats, where Alliance Builders Supply used to be on Auld Street (they were tearing those down after we moved into the old Briteen's home at 1106 S. Liberty, Liberty and Auld). Our families are going to miss your glowing company, although it has been many years, and your wonderfully delicious italian dishes of lasagna, rigatoni, and spaghetti. You and your family have and always will be a wonderful friend and will live in our hearts forever. May I hope to one day be with you and yours at the gates of heaven, and once again enjoy your warmth and caring as we did here on earth. We love you Mary. May god be with you and give you peace for eternity. God bless...
