My Dearest Mary. Joe and I appreciated yours and Ray's conversations after mass on Sundays l We Were so fortunate to have you as friends. I honestly don't know how we became friends but it was a blessing God introduced both of you to us. I am thrilled you enjoyed my holiday treats. I know they were different from what you were used to. But my mother was determined I was going to carry on the Italian tradition with her recipes and special ingredients her parents handed down from them. Thank you for inviting Me to your house for a spring tea. That was most generous of you. Unfortunately I never made it. 14 years of heart problems with joe. ( and I would have never left him alone). He was hospitalized so many times and I stayed with him every second because he was terrified. Night gown and slippers. No time to change. And then one unfortunate day , Dec 5, 2016 I found him in cardiac arrest. I did cpr and managed to get a heart beat but it wasn't good enough. Amed took him to UPMC and got him stable and life flighted him to UPMC Pittsburgh But after a long week he past on to another world. I stood at his head and held his head and begged Him to take me with him. I guess he didn't love me enough. So then a horrible depression set In. snd I lost contact With everyone. I had no desire to go on. I apologize for not going to visit you. You called me shortly after your husband pasted and you began to cry. As I was trying to comfort you my heart began to break snd I just couldn't face you in your time if sorrow. Please forgive me. You see we think we always have tomorrow but we don't. So now you are with Ray please sing with the angels and hopefully someday joe and I will join you with the angels. I visited Calvary yesterday and just as I thought u and Ray are with the Veterans. I remember him in his Whites. So handsome and you were there beside him. What a lovely couple. I will miss you and love you. May you both Rest In Peace. And I Know God has u both wrapped in his loving arms. Barbara A Francis.

To the Plummer Family. Your family was so great full to have such wonderful parents. They were the best. My husband Joe snd I were extremely fortunate to have met them at Mount Carmel It take long to become friends. And we talk after mass They would stand in line to talk to us. They are simply great. I wish we would have known them on a personal level longer. You see joe snd I were from Gallitzin and we went to the Plummer- wolf store to shop. Many people did. From the mountain. There weren't a lot of cars at that time. If so the car was used for work because of the jobs out of town. I can still see your dad sitting in the chair and your mom leaning over him. Of course he was agreeable. I remember that like it's today. Even though I was very young when my dad and I visited the store I knew she was a driving force them. I truly loved her. Not many personalities like her. I pray at least one or more of your families were blest their talents. My love to all of you. Barbara A Francis.

Pat and I were highly appreciative of Mary Alice, as a performer and a personality. She was an original! We empathise with the family in their loss.--Dr. Joe Silverman

Our condolences to the Plummer Family! I know that her and your father are dancing and singing. May God Bless You! Paula & Randy Clemens

Our thoughts are with the Plummer family at this time of sorrow. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
