I just saw that our grandmother Mary Soltis passed away. As a child growing up I remember my mom, my brother and I visiting her and grandpa along with our aunts, uncles and cousins.
She was always such a warm, kind and loving woman not just to us but to everyone as well. I cherish the memories I have of those days spending time with such a wonderful woman. She will be deeply missed.
My sincerest condolences go out to our entire family in what has already been a challenging year. I pray that you have the strength and courage to get through this difficult time.
Rest In Peace grandma.
Joe Soltis
