Peter and the entire Schwartz family, I am so sorry to learn of your mom’s passing. She was an incredible woman who inspired many with her positivity, warmth, and generosity. My mom cherished her friendship and loved playing bridge with Mary Jo! Of the many recipes we found in my mom’s recipe box, Mary Jo’s cherry chocolate cake was one of the most used and enjoyed! My heartfelt sympathy to all.
