I so miss my Mary Ann. I will miss your advice, comfort, and company. I will miss that you won't be over for dinner and a glass of wine or two. Megan and John love you as a grandmother and I loved you as a mother. I will never forget you. May God bless you with open arms. Here is to family.

Love Always~

"Mary Ann had a style, grace and upbeat spirit I loved and will dearly miss. She was "a true friend" and I'll always cherish the fun, the walks, talks and laughter we shared especially during our years at Dominican University. I am stunned to know she was 92. Her attitude was young and ageless....." Bonnie Sullivan (Nipomo, CA)

May our sweet Great Aunt Mary Ann rest in peace. She provided an excellent example of how to live life to the fullest till the very last possible moment. She would never tell anyone how old she was because she didn't want people to judge her capabilities and potential based upon her age. We will miss her energy and love of life. Rest in Peace Sweet Mary Ann.
