    To all of Mary’s family- when I think of Mary Berilla, I always remember her smile above everything else- when you caught her smiling out of the corner of your eye, I would always think..”was there a little mischief I noticed?”
    Now she gets a box seat at every Cardinal game-home and away!
    Just remember Janet, John, Nick, and Jim,,,you can NEVER replace your mom,
    but you will ALWAYS remember her.
    May she rest in peace,
    Bill Hayes and Sonya Joseph
