You are truly missed by all who knew and loved ❤ you. Malcolm and I talk about you all the time. Yes, I am still trying to get in touch with Ellen to get on her show to tell her all about you and your Acadian History. I will keep trying and hopefully she'll get my emails.
Well my Dear Friend, Continue To Take Your Rest In God's Heavenly Peace.
Love You Always Ms. Mary Ann.

So sad to hear of the passing of this beautiful lady who I am proud to say was a neighbor of mine when I was just a kid. She was so kind to all of us and went out of her way to please others. I will miss you. Prayers to Dr. Ben and Suzanne. James Stewart

Mary Anne was très gentille. She was always a lively addition to our genealogy group (the Saint-Domingue SIG). She sometimes brought her paintings to the meetings to show us, and she would entertain us with stories of her days on the Bayou. We all miss her. Our sympathy to her family and friends.

I was planning to surprise you on Christmas Day with my very first Bread pudding. I knew I had to make one before I turned 80 and I needed your opinion since I couldn't find your recipe. I will make that bread pudding in your Honor. You always made one for our de Boisblanc family reunion and now I will pick up the Bread pudding torch in your memory! Love always, Penny
