Riley, Riley Jr, Tracy, and Stacy: We were so sorry to hear about Mary Ann. You were certainly fortunate to have 49 years together and to raise such wonderful kids. Your mother always had such good things to say about all of you and how proud she was. The writeup certainly stated the truth about devotion. Mary Ann had to ability to leave all of you so many wonderful memories filled with laughter, so my request to all of you is that when you do get sad, please pull out one of those memories and it will help you get through anything.
We love all of you.

Although we know that Mary Ann is no longer in pain and is admiring the flowers outside her mansion in heaven, those of us that are left behind feel the pain of being without her. Having lost my mother recently, I know the depth of your pain. Please know that your friends grieve with you and are praying for your pain to be replaced with joy and loving memories of all your special moments that you shared as a family.

With love and sympathy,
