I have not seen Mary in over thirty years, but I have fond memories of wonderful aromas of delicious Italian meals floating into the gangway on Albany as I waited for Cathy to come out. I also remember her contagious smile and a wave every time I passed the house and she was sitting on the front porch.

My condolences to the five Bongiorno "girls" and their families.
