Dear Richie, Katie, and family;
I as well can't believe a year has passed since this wonderful woman has left your lives. I know that your lives have never been nor will they ever be the same without her. The love you have for her will never alter nor fade no matter how much time passes, but I hope that the pain you feel will. She lives on in your heart...and you have to believe that she is watching you from above.
Thinking of you.

My dear Stecky. I was shocked to read of the passing of your daughter, Mary Ann. I will let Tom and Elaine aware that Mary Ann is in heaven with Kay. I was visitng Tom in Keene for about ten days and just catching up on the Lowell obits. Tom lost his wife Barbara the latter part of October. It's been rough on him as he was her caretaker for years. Please accept my sincere sympathy and know that I will keep Mary Ann in my prayers and may God bless you and your family.

Dear Kate and Richie, It's very difficult for us to imagine life without Maryann. She was too good to be true. We loved hanging out with her, enjoying her good sense of humor including her wise-gal jokes and animated personality. We will miss her at play and at work. But from now on, we will all have to make the best of what we now have and treasure the memories she left us. We know that's what she would want of us! Love, Serena, Thai & Max

To Maryann's extended family,
Maryann's departure is not only we have lost a good friend indeed, but also all the joys and happiness she had given us. My strongest memory of her for the past more than 8 years is that she was always very optimistic and never ever forget to wear a smile on her face. She may have left us physically but her laughter is always in my heart....may god bless you all. and take care.

To Maryann's family;
I was very sad to hear about Maryann, and I would like to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. Its been a very long time since I had been in touch with Maryann, but many years ago I worked more closely with her at Analog, and she is one of those people you NEVER forget. Her smile and happy personality were so contagious, and it was a joy to know her. I know that she will be missed by many, many people, and I am sure that many thoughts and prayers are with you now.

Dear Richie and Katie,
I want to extend my sincere condolences on your loss of Mary Ann. At ADI we called her MAM and she was a close colleague and dear friend over many years. She came on business trips to Asia and we enjoyed seeing her beyond the work side of her trips. I remember her visiting us in Hong Kong and spending a day sightseeing in the city. I relied upon MAM allot for the business success we had at ADI. We will miss her energy and humor.

To Maryann's family,
I am very sorry to hear about the sad demise of Maryann. She was a colleague of mine at ADI and I have known her for over eleven years. She has been very helpful to me and my colleagues during my initial days at ADI as she was the single point of contact for us for business matters pertaining to our product sales. I also had the opportunity to meet Maryann recently during one of the training sessions in Asia. We will miss her and we pray that God gives you the strength and the courage needed at these sad times of your lives. May her soul rest in peace.

There are simply no words to express our sadness....so many memories of our childhood and the things we did together - 2 families of cousins, acting as one. We will always cherish the memory of her boisterous laugh, brilliant smile and her joy for life. Know that she will always be remembered and live on through all those who's lives she touch.
Much love,

Dear Richie & Katie
Please accept my deepest condolences for MaryAnn's passing. Even though it has been close to 9 years since she and I met, I still remember fondly the many laughs she shared with me and Alice during our days in Wilmington. She often talked so proudly of Kate, and shared with us the love, pride and joy she has of her family.
Our thoughts are with you even though we are now miles away in Shanghai, China.
Yeeli, Ron, Carter & Lynden

Richie and Kathleen:
It was only February 2007, when I first met MaryAnn at ADI. She and I shared many laughs and stories over such a short time. She was a remarkable lady. She will forever be in my memory! She was a person that always made you smile not matter how bad things might have been. In some ways, I think of her as a mentor. In such a short time she taught me to keep my head high and never to look back. My heart is empty with the loss of such a wonderful person! Believe me when I tell you time WILL heal your sadness. All my best to you and your extended family. Keep smiling, like MaryAnn always did!!!

To MaryAnn's family:
This is such sad, sad news. I had the pleasure of working with MaryAnn many times over the years while I was employed at ADI (1980-90's)....She by far was the sweetest LADY anyone would every want to work with, light hearted and even on the phone I could tell she was smiling!
My heart goes out to you at this time....please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Keep her in your hearts forever and ever.

Dear Richie, Kate and family;
My deepest sympathies goes out to you and your family. MaryAnn was a wonderful woman who certainly didn't deserve the battle in which she fought so hard to beat. I will miss the countless laughs the girls and I shared with her at work and of course her advice and wisdom on so many subjects. I only had the priviledge of endulging in her cooking very few times, but in my opinion she was by far the best cook ever! She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. God Bless you all.

Dear Richie & Katie,
I am so saddened with the loss of your wonderful and beautiful loved one. I was fortunate to first work with her in the mid-80's at ADI. We spoke multiple times a day. Even though I have never met you, I felt like I somehow knew you both from all the joy and happiness she shared when she spoke of you. I was lucky to work with her again in 2005.
May time ease your hurt, and your hearts be filled with warm memories of someone so, so special.
