I think that there is also a parallel between the deaths of Mary and Fredo. Remember when Michael confesses, when he describes Fredo's death, he says "I killed my father's son," as if, as a parent, he only now realized the enormity of what he did. It was as if the only fitting punishment for him was to feel the ultimate pain, that of a parent losing a child.
EXCELLENT observation SB! Excellent!
