I remember Mrs. Fernandes and her family from a very young age. The visits to their house in Oakland. The one memory that stands out for me is a childhood one. During one of our visits, Mrs. Fernandes prepared hotdogs for me and my brothers. I had never tasted one before. I have never forgotten that. Our mothers became very close as widows. It saddens me that she has passed. Her bright voice and quick smile will be missed. Manuel Gorgulho Jr.

I have many fond memories of Mary when she lived in Oakland and was good friends with my mother (Connie John). Family was the most important thing to her. She loved her family more than anything in this world. My thoughts are with the family Donna Tastard
