I was so glad to know Mary Ann, and live down the street from her, and also be in the same grade. She was a very good student too at Lancaster High School, and I really liked her a lot. I am so glad I got to go to her funeral service and meet her loving family.
I remember her brother saying "I hope I was a good enough brother to her." Those were words of love spoken by her brother.

I grew up with Mary Ann right down Pleasant View Drive. I was so glad to know her, and go to Lancaster High School with her. Life is way too short here on Earth, but I know we will meet again in Heaven.
I remember her brother telling me at Mary Ann’s funeral, I HOPE I WAS A GOOD ENOUGH BROTHER TO HER. He said such caring words from a brother to a sister, that I never forgot them✝

Mary Ann, Becky and me. Buffalo 2012

We lived on the same street and grew up together. I always worried about her heart problems. It was so wonderful seeing Mary Ann at the 2015 dinner. She was a wonderful person and my friend.
