My memories of my Aunt Marie were her visits on Holidays and Sunday dinners in her convertible Mustang, always dressed and looking like a movie star. She did not have children of her own but she treated all 15 of her nieces and nephews as her own. She was caregiver to my grandparents before they passed and passionately watched over her youngest sister Ann, who had passed at a very young age.
Many thanks to my late cousin Jimmy and the entire Dezao family for taking care of her for so long. And to Theresa and Scott for what they did towards the end for Aunt Marie.
