Dear Joy and Peter:
Sorry for your loss. Your mother was a wonderful person and a great neighbor, having our auntie for dinner every night. Lily Belle real appreciated it and always held your mother in highest regards.
The Baccelli family
To the entire Schioppo family: we remember Mary so well when Peter started out in practice. She was his secretary and took MANY of our family calls for help. She and “Pete” were so very responsible for me spending 42 years as a chiropractor (after being in the convent for 15). He cared for me when I was a child with asthma and I can’t tell you how many children and adults I ministered to with asthma among other ailments. Thank you, thank you, thank you good and faithful servant
I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Know she will forever be in my thoughts. Charlotte carries her name (middle name Mary) and Diane and I will always carry her memory
Dear Peter and family,
