Dear friends, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I remember sitting next to Mary at the card table at the bay house last summer where I first met Mary. We had a nice visit, and I will always remember Mary and all
of you whom I met that day. God bless you all.
Lovingly, Sister Mary Jane

To the Mastromatteo family;
It is with great sadness to learn of the earthly loss of your sister and our cousin Mary, but of sound joy knowing in her goodness, she is at peace with Our Heavenly Father resting in Eternal Life. Heartfelt memories will be cherished, especially with Mary’s special understanding and uplifting character. We hope your loss will be brief. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to attend her Services, but have been offering Masses and prayers for all. God bless you!

Unfortunately I was out of town and could not attend the service for Mary. I just wanted you to know she was an exceptional woman. I took her place as the office manager at Long Orthodontic Assoc. She taught me well! I could always depend on her great memory and she was always willing to help me with a smile. She was an asset to Long Ortho!
I just wanted to send all of you my condolences and pay respect to Mary. She will be missed but her memory will live on.
Micki Carper
Office Mgr. Long Orthodontic Assoc
Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of your loved one. Although I never had the privilege of meeting her, I feel that I knew Mary a bit through hearing about her from Sister Vivian. I’m so glad her picture is posted, and what a wonderful picture it is!
All of you are in my prayers as you try to adjust to Mary’s changed life. May God bless you.
