Mary was truly a loving spirit who blessed this world with her presence. I will always remember the light in her eyes as she spoke of her husband, moving to Chinatown, her work at Deborah's Place and all that life held. I will treasure the memory of her spirit always.

Although Mary's obituary was not printed in papers across the country and though the media didn't show up at her funeral the impact of this woman on ALL who met her was such that had you been viewing the earth from outer space at the time Mary passed you would have seen a light go out. She will be so missed.

Nick, Diane, Eileen, Skip, Richard and all the Beatrice children and Bertoletti cousins
Words can't express the sorrow I feel with Mary Louise's passing. She was like a big sister to me -- I'll never forget those years in Roseland and Downer's Grove. She was a very, very special person.
All we can do now is honor the beautiful memories, celebrate her gracious spirit and remember her wonderful life.
I know she will be greatly missed by all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Nick and David,
I received an FOA email about Mary's passing yesterday. When I reminisce about my past volunteer year at FOA, wonderful memories of time spent with you all never fails to bring a flood of joyful emotions. Mary was one of those beautiful souls that left a lasting stamp on my heart. She never failed to take the time out of her busy week to come visit us volunteers at the Marquard purely to inspire, encourage and mold us into better human beings. I always looked forward to her visits and cherished her illuminating spirit. For a such a petite woman, she had so much love to give. I also loved the way she laughed...it was always full of gusto and was absolutely contagious! May she be received in Heaven with an angelic parade of love and jubilee that she deserves.
Peace and Love,
Canh-Lien

When I think of Mary Louise Beatrici I feel warmth and love, I see a big smile, open arms, a hardy laugh, I knew she cared and loved people and accepted everyone into her life.
I have fond memories of the family gatherings, the DalleMolles, the Beatricis, the Bertaletis, the Kummerers, (many others) and the Zwits. Everyone was family to Mary Louise!!!!
What a Gift God shared: Mary Louise
My heart goes out to all of you.
I love all the pictures I have seen on Face Book, the collage reflects LOVE: That is what Mary Louise was all about.
God Bless.

I will always remember my cousin Mary Louise as a person that always generated love and happiness. She seemed to love, welcome, care for, pray for, cook for, and help in all ways possible any one she encountered in her life. Growing up around the corner from the family, when they moved to Downers Grove when I was a child, meant a lot of time spent at her house. I will always remember there seemed to be food cooking all the time. "Come eat , what can I get you".... The food always just the best! Conversation always fun and enlightening! The mere presence of Mary Louise just filled the room.
Just recently spending overnight visits with both Rita and Diana it is easy to see that they are their mothers daughters. I was always genuinely welcomed, offered food, care and great conversation. She will truly live on in all of her children, grandchildren, Nick ! Anyone who has been lucky enough to have been touched by her warm caring ways and will also keep her spirit alive!
God bless you Mary Louise! You will surely be deeply missed. You were an angel before you even entered heaven.
Love, Paula (Dallemolle) Pollack and family
