Dear Joanie, Margie, Jimmy, and Denise,
Sorry about the loss of Maryann. I liked her as a sister also. You are all my extended siblings since my teen years. My prayers are with you always. Love, Mary Ellen

To Maryann's Family,
I'm saddened to hear about Maryann, but I'm so happy that Maryann & I arranged to meet at the Athenian Restaurant a few years ago after not having seen each other for over 40 years. We were best friends from the time we were 9--when my family moved to Bridge Street--till we both went to St. Bonnie's Business School; then we lost touch. I will forever treasure the many memories of our times together--especially our teen years. . .so many stories. We recalled them all when we met for lunch that day. We laughed at old photos I brought to share with her. Maryann and all of you will be in my prayers.

Maryann,
I just heard the news of you leaving this planet on Xmas Day. All I have to say is that you will be greatly missed by your family, especially Margie your sister. By now you know that you are in a better place and will see us all again. I love you Maryann but very sad we never got together again last summer.
