All I've heard for the last few days are the sounds of big bands. In my mind's eye, I recall dozens of late nights watching my Aunt Mary and Uncle Ralph dancing to those tunes. The last time I spoke with Aunt Mary, I told her of memories I had of her babysitting me. She still is one the most loving people I've ever been fortunate enough to know. There are few people that have such strength, devotion and light humor in this world. I know that I got the better part of the deal just knowing her and can make some of the best parts of her a part of me. My sincerest condolences to Uncle Ralph, Doug and Karen. Love, David.

Karen - I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that Mary left a legacy of which she can be so proud---a wonderful daughter! And, for that the world is a little richer. And, with every life you touch, so does your mom. Mary is in the care of our Lord now and I hope that knowledge can help you find peace in your heart. With warmest regards always - Sara Voorhees Proverbs 3:5 - trust in the Lord with all your heart.

My family knew Mrs. Donofrio as the secretary at Hillsborough Elementry School. She was a beautiful person who always had a smile and made everyone feel special. Our condolences to her family. The Singer Family

Uncle Ralph, Doug, Susan, Karen,and GeriAnn, Our hearts go out to you. We can relate to the feelings you are experiencing right now, but we know your faith and trust in GOD will help you through this. She was an awesome Mom, Grandmother, Wife and Aunt and a role model for what a perfect marriage and mother are all about. She will be missed and I cherish the memories I have of growing up and being priveledged to be such a close part of her life. I only wish I took the time in the recent months to call and talk to her...a life lesson learned. We love you and pray for you at this time. Love, Donna
