So many wonderful memories-Brant Rock "discussions", my visit to Washington in the eighth grade with Helen and Tom.
another visit with my children watching a lightening storm,
the ST Patricks Day dinner in Aptos, and Uncle Dan's birthday party.
Mary Ann will be missed. Her example is carried on by many of her friends and family.

I will always remember MaryAnn and Uncle Dan and how hospitable they were to me and my friends when we came to me and my friends on our way back from Florida to Boston. They made us packed lunches for the trip. She and Uncle Dan were so thoughtful and kind and there was no one like them. They are together again where they belong.

Mary Ann, as were both she and McGill, like second Parents to us while we were growing up. She will always be remembered and loved. I'm sure that God has them (your parents and mine) together again. My fond and loving memories are with you all at this time. Mary Beth (Chromiak)
