in honor of Mary.

It's unbelievable to know that a year ago Mary Rose passed away. Those who were blessed to have known her were lucky in many ways. May she continue to rest in peace.

Gone from my sight

I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze,
and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength,
and I stand and watch her until she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says: “There! She’s gone!”
Gone where? Gone from my sight – that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side,
and just as able to bear her load of living freight
to the place of her destination.
Her diminished size is in me, and not in her.

And just at the moment
when someone at my side says: “There! She’s gone!”
there are other eyes that are watching for her coming;
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout:
“There she comes!”*

The Mary Rose

The Mary Rose, a mighty ship
Travels long & on many a sea.

And in her wake,
As she sails,
Gratitude & Joyfill her store.

And to that other shore,
She will again be greeted,
By Love,
Forever more. **

I remember taking May Rose to the parlor and how she loved having her hair done. I also remember how she enjoyed going to church. And she would always look forward to going to the Italian Association events where I have seen her at her happiest.

She was very generous and would share her baked goods with us, her caregivers.

I will miss Mary Rose and it was a privilege to have met her and taken care of her. My sincere condolences to the family.

Aunt Mary was and is an icon in my life. The she always expressed her love and kindness to me as a child still lives in my heart till today. She took such pride in everything thing she did and was so willing to share her talents. One of my fondest memory was how she welcomed me into her’s and Uncle Dominic’s bakery on Sunday mornings. She would take me in the back and let me watch her bake cookies, teaching me various techniques and even let me help prepare trays to be sold. How I loved Sunday mornings.
Then when I was just 12 years old she gave me the honor of baptizing my first God daughter Teresa. I think it was that very day that I felt grown up, knowing she entrusted me with such an honor, filled me with so much pride and even more respect and love for this very extraordinary woman.
The day she set off to begin the next chapter of her life, proudly embracing her 3 children and driving off to California brought me such mixed emotions. I was so happy to see her filled with excitement and yet sad because I would miss her so much.
In 1988, we went on a family vacation to California. I was so excited the day we went to Pacifica to visit Aunt Mary and Uncle Dominic. I wanted my children to finally meet the woman that so inspired me as a child. I’ll never forget how she and Uncle Dominic welcomed us. She couldn’t do enough for us. We ate, we drank, the children went in the yard with Uncle Dom and learned how to make wine. And of course there were more home made cookies that we could ever imagine. My children still fondly talk about this day.
It is with my most sincere condolences to you Dominic and John. Aunt Mary was an amazingly strong, confident women filled with such perseverance. She worked hard, loved hard, and achieved harder. I know the good Lord has embraced her in the heavens above and she is watching over you. God bless this beautiful woman 🙏🏻
May she Rest In Peace.
Love, Cousin Sally and Jim

in honor of Mary.

Although I was a young child when Aunt Mary and Uncle Dominick left for California, with cousins Dominick, John and Teresa, I still have a vivid picture in my mind of that day. I remember all of us standing in front of our house, waving goodbye, as they drove away. CALIFORNIA!! Wow, it was like a dream!
At first I didn’t realise they weren’t coming back, but as time went by I understood, and admired Aunt Mary’s strength and courage, taking a leap of faith and moving her family to new unknown opportunities.

Years later, when Peter & I got married, we visited Aunt Mary while on our honeymoon. I was 26. It had been 20 years since I had last seen Aunt Mary.
When we got to her house in Pacifica, it was like we were home! She welcomed us with open arms and fed us until we couldn’t eat another bite! Peter and I often talk about this day. What a wonderful day and a cherished memory.

The years pass so fast and sometimes we don’t get to speak with ones we love as often as we should. Life is a precious gift and our loved ones are special blessings. I wish I spoke with Aunt Mary more often, and told her how much I loved her and how she inspired me. Her confidence and fortitude, braving a new path for her family. What a strong role model for the women in our family!

I know in my heart that she is watching over us all, and sharing her strength and courage. May God Bless you Aunt Mary, and I pray you Rest in Peace with our Lord Jesus Christ.

With our deepest condolences,

Love,
Josette, Peter and family
