I've known Aunt Mary since I was very young, also growing up in Cortland, NY as she did.
My parents, Carmine and Maria Stella (nee Cercone) Sonnacchio introduced Mary to my uncle, Guiseppe, on one of his and Aunt Flavia's visits to our home. I was a maid-of-honor in their wedding in 1957. Aunt Mary was a wonderful LADY! She and Uncle "Joe" were so happy when their sons, Joe and Mario were born. Since Uncle Joe passed on to a new life at a young age, Aunt Mary "brought up" the boys, and shared their joys when they married and, later, as they and her daughters-in-law became parents themselves, and Aunt Mary became a grandmother. She will be missed.
