    Cindy, so sorry to learn of your mother's passing. She was a very exquisite lady. Not sure if you remember, I worked with her as a teller in the Whitehall branch of Mellon Bank in the mid 80's. Your mom always had great words of wisdom and encouragement. Cherish the great memories. Sending prayers. Joe Trovato

    I've known Mary Jane, Nick, Patty, and Cindy since they moved into the Hillman Street Neighborhood about 60 years ago. Nick always had a project underway and soon recruited some of us neighborhood boys to help in his endeavors. Nick was talented in many crafts, and I learned a lot from him. Mary Jane was our paymaster – she would reward our labors with spaghetti dinners, nut rolls and other delights. She taught us how to make homemade pasta and became a friend and mentor to our wives and girlfriends. I became as close to the Francellinis as any non-relative could become and we remained lifelong friends. Mary Jane and Nick had a beautiful marriage and life together. You will be forever in my memory and may you rest in peace – together again. Denny Clarke

    A wonderful woman with an unique sense of humor. Mary Jane always made you feel welcome and part of the family. She loved her 4th of July picnics and always was happy when family was together. A woman to remember for her humor, kindness, cooking and her ability to make everyone feel like family. With much sympathy.
