Condolences for
Mary Lello (Merlino)

Dear David and John,

You have a special place in our hearts during this time of your grief. Miss Mary--as Eric liked to call her--will be missed by you and a host of others. Find peace in the love and the memories that will live on.

When my mother passed in 2007, I shared the following quote with my family:

Do not pursue the past.
Do not lose yourself in the future.
The past no longer is.
The future has not yet come.
Looking deeply at life as it is.
When you realize how perfect everything is
you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky. (Bhaddekaratta Sutta)

With love and with prayers,

Brian & Eric

Dear David & John, and family,
I loved visiting with Mary at my grandmother Jessie's house. Mary was a special woman and dear friend to my grandmother. She holds a special place in my family's heart and we will never forget her. I am very sorry for your loss.
With love and prayers, Jennifer

David & John, So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was my second mother when I was growing up. We have so many wonderful memories of the times our families spent together. I was so sad, and then I realized that Mary, Dave, Jessie, Al, Yola & Mariano can once again be together. You and John are in our thoughts and prayers. With love, Joan & Jeff

Dave, we wish you strength during these emotional times.
I am glad that you and John were able to spend some much
quality time with your mother.
