    To our dearest Sotor Family,

    Our deepest and heartfelt love and condolences to you all. Auntie Mary was such huge and loving force, such a wonderful artist who influenced me from the time I was a little girl, someone who gave so much to her family, be it immediate or extended. How we will miss her laugh, her voice, her stories, her willingness to make a home for us all. We will miss the sense of her place in an incredible family.

    Our heart breaks to let go of an important part of our history, but we must. We know she will be an angel guiding us all through our lives down here on earth and know she’s now with her beloved John.

    Wishing we could be in Chicago to celebrate Mary’s life, but we will definitely be there in spirit.

    Warmest love to you all,

    Jean, Joanne, Joycie and the extended DiVito family,

    A few weeks ago I began to hear the most beautiful music…a choral of angels in my head singing what was an unworldly tribute. This was before I knew auntie Mary had decided to depart or before I knew her time was so close. When I did find out, I thought “of course, the music is for my beautiful Auntie”. I think when our loved ones decide to leave this earthly plane their essence waft by us just so softly and gently to remind us….with Danny it was the warrior in the form of the fight to not give up….With auntie Anna and now Mary the touch was a choir of angels in my heart.

    When Auntie Anna passed, I felt a moment of regret and grief for losing someone who so intimately defined my culture and life. Her passing so reminded me of my mortality and the idea that we are all just visitors. But I am after all Jenny’s daughter and the granddaughter of the late and great philosopher Geswaldo who daily fed me a potent and steady diet of their spiritual lessons. So at the risk of sounding like grandpa, I can now admit, that those lessons unendingly give me strength. It is the knowing that we all traverse through this journey of life and death and leave juicy morsels as we pass through the fleeting moment we call our lives on earth. These moments in turn leave a loud and lasting imprint. Now with the passing of my brother, Michael and our beloved Auntie Anna and Mary I have the strengh to know with certainty, that we leave something of ourselves always. In me that message always rings louder than the loss.

    So with that, I cannot think of Auntie Mary without being reminded of the culture of the sisters. They were…are inseparable and passed down to us the things which helped to make us a part of what we all are (not to mention a lot of cousins to love and grandchildren). Auntie Mary…dedicated to her music and her children and her husband the light of her life, left that with me. And in turn a part of that flamboyancy and passion for music and family has gotten passed down to those I touch. This lovely gift never ends. It changes and goes through many iterations but it still is the essence of Auntie Mary whose origins are know as the clan of the Gulizia’s and beyond.

    And while I will never be able to touch her again or kiss her gently on the cheek and ask her to sing for me, I will always take her with me wherever I go. Alla Famiglia!!!!

    I love you Auntie Mary.

    I was just blessed reading your loving tribute to your aunt Mary. I was looking for my friends husband tribute but its not ready yet. Then I saw and read several ones that mentioned nice accomplishments etc but Mary stood out..shes beautiful and lived a long life..so I was curious to see her awesome accomplishment as LOVING mother, wife, & aunt..how she left such an IMPACT of love faith & music ..this blessed me because mom passed in March & she too was same and I must say that truly that she too was great wife, mom, loved music abd especially het Faith in God was strong ..these are also treasures I hold dear & pass on..but why you bless me is reminding me that my focus needs to be her treasures sje left like morsels as we all pass briefly in this earth . Then my heartache got a lityle less thank you for sharing
    your
