  2. Mario and family ~ I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. I worked with her for years at Lechmere. Many Sunday afternoons we would go to Friendly’s for ice cream…you were very young and I’m not sure if you remember that. We would always do something fun on the weekends with you. She was such an amazing woman and will be missed by many.
