Rose, Maureen, Kathy, John, Joanne and all your family,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. She was a lovely woman full of love and compassion. She was always warm, interested in you kids and your friends and had a smile on her face. At least that is how I remember her. She was kind to everyone she met. She also shared being an Immaculate Alum with her daughters. I know she has left you all with dear and lasting memories that will keep you warm for many years to come. For me, I will remember her warm inviting smile, her interest and presence whenever we would meet as well as her sweet voice and kind words and she was a vigilant Mother. Farewell Maryann! With love and remembrance,

I am so sorry to hear of another Jubilee Club elder passing away. Blessings on all of you in your time of sorrow. I know there are many who are now back to partying away like days of old around the many campfires. RIP MaryAnn.

Dear McMahon Family,
I am so sorry about your Mother's death. The years my family lived across the street on Corliss were some of my favorite. Your Mother was very kind in reaching out to my very shy Mother. I remember being at your house, playing in the yard, and bicycling around Greenlake with Rosemary. My condolences to you all. Sheri Thomas
