Not sure what to say?

I love you, Mom. Thank you for loving me all the 68 years of my life.

Maryann and her family played an important part in my growing up years. In addition to being beautiful and so very talented, she always welcomed me into their home. I will always remember learning that my baby brother was born while staying at their house in University City and many hot summer pool days with Krissy at their house in Ladue. Maryann hand painted the seating chart for our wedding in 1979 which is now framed and hanging in our bedroom, a testament to the timeless beauty of her...

Marianne was a great aunt and a wonderful person and a wonderful artist and she will be forever missed
