I am very sorry to learn about the passing of your loving mother. I met Mary Ann many years ago. What stands out most in my memory is that she was indeed a devoted mother to her daughters. Mary Ann was truly a pleasant person with a kind spirit and an enchanting personality. I am honored and blessed to have known her.
