Diane and Rob, I was so sorry to hear from Michael (via Shawn) that your mother passed away. I lost my mother a year ago, and I find so much comfort knowing that my Mom is now healthy and whole again and with my father and sister. My wish is that the knowledge that Maryann is now with her heavenly family will bring you and your family comfort and peace. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Hugs to you both.

Maryann was like a second Mom to me and my Husband Duane.
She often called herself "The Mama", and we had many good times with "The Mama".
She was a good friend and we will miss her dearly.
Thank you Maryann, knowing you was a priviledge and honor.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family.
