Maria (Gandolfo) Silecchia

August 9, 1937 - June 5, 2017

In memory of our mother who endured the challenges and obstacles of mental illness we ask if you can make a donation to help others who have faced or will be faced with mental illness in their lifetime.

With love and gratitude,

Salvatore & Mary Silecchia
