Mary Ann and Freddy,
I am very sorry to hear about the death of your Mom. Even though we have been separated by years and distance, I still remember the wonderful times that my sister and I had with both of you and your parents. I remember your Mom keeping Freddy and me in line. In those days, it didn't matter whether or not the "Mom" was your Mom. Wherever you were that Mom always ruled and was respected. I remember your Dad teaching me to pitch and coming to the games to watch me. I remember your Mom being there when mine was not around. She will be missed as is your Dad. I wish you through my prayers the comfort that only God can provide in this dire time.

Dear Mary Ann and Freddy,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom, who I always called Aunt Sarah. I think I was about ten before I figured out that we weren't related. I remember how she taught me how to knit. I always had fun with them when they played bridge with my parents. I have the cutest picture of them with my youngest daughter that they called a Tarheel, because she was born in North Carolina. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you from Florida. Love, the Doyle's from Briarwood Lane

I am so saddened to hear about the death of your wonderful Mom. I called her Aunt Sarah for so many years. She treated me like one of her kids. She taught me how to knit and I still do it to this day. I saw her in October and she recognized me. I have so many fond memories of them playing bridge at my parents house. Even though, we can't be there Thursday, my family will be thinking of you and praying for you. Your mother was a beautiful person and will be missed. Sincerely, Anne Doyle-Jones, David Doyle and Alice Doyle

Dear Mary Ann, I am so sad to hear of the news of your mom's death. Somehow, I close my eyes and it is back to our teenage years when we practically lived in each other's homes. I absolutely loved your mom and dad, and I have the most wonderful memories. I will cherish them always, just as I cherish our friendship all those years ago. I send my love to you, and Larry, and Freddy, and his wife, and all your children. She was a wonderful, wonderful woman. My mother sends her love, also. She is now 98!
