I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mary Ann was such a wonderful person. I had the pleasure of working with Mary Ann at Stouffers in the housekeeping dept. She was my "Mentor". I will always remember Mary Ann teaching me the "ropes" and instilling in me the value of a good job done. She always said we were "cooking with gas!" I feel blessed to have known her.
