    To the Whole Mantia Family- I am so sorry for your loss. I never had the pleasure of meeting Beverly face to face but did spend much time on the phone with her. It was overwhelmingly obvious how much love and responsibility that she felt for family. She was a strong advocate for a certain special family member. I am still around when you need me. Don't hesitate to call.

    To the Mantia family, I am so sorry on your loss. I don't have to tell you she will be missed. Going by the houses on North Union street and seeing family's still living there, but slowly all the matriarchs are going to be with there loved ones. Mrs Mantia, yes to this day that is what she will be know as, Mrs not Beverly. Growing up in the neighborhood that is what we called all the parents of friends, Mrs or Mr, no first names. Back in those day every parent was like your parent, you did what they said to do. And growing up Mrs Mantia was there for a lot of kids and parents. Now Mrs Mantia is back with her daughters. Mrs Mantia left to soon. Mrs Mantia please tell Barbara and Susan I said hello, give them a kiss for me and let them now I think of them often. RIP until we meet again.
