Mary Ann was my dearest friend. I still miss her and I have many moments when I wish that I could dial 457 5868 and hear her answer the phone. She was a bright, kind, caring, generous person. I feel privileged to have known Ann all of my life. (She was always "ANN" to me.)

To Barry, Rosemary, Kevin, Eugene and all other family who loved her; I am so very sorry for your loss. You should take comfort in the fact that you did so much for her, made her end of life journey as wonderful as you could. That her children and grandchild gave of themselves so generously speaks volumes about the wonderful loving family that Mary Ann raised. Rest well Mrs. Chromey and may each of your family be comforted by one another during this difficult time.
