Forty
years ago I began a summer waitress job at Rillo's and stayed 10 years. Manny "ruled the roost" with inspections
and her notes signed MR. She set the standard for excellence yet brought you into the fold with her warmth and abundant love.
This sense of family extended well beyond the doors of the restaurant. Rest peacefully Manny with the loved ones who have
passed before you.
With healing thoughts and heartfelt condolences to the family.
Sue Hoke ______________ Dear Mary Ann -
My heart goes out
to you after you losing your beloved mother. She was very kind. I remember one of the best childhood birthday parties
I attended was yours when we had such a good time between your house and the restaurant. It was fun to see her cooking
her big vat of spaghetti sauce. God bless you and your family.
