Not sure what to say?

I thought of Mary Ann a few weeks ago when I was with friends recalling a safety issue at work. Mary Ann was instrumental in influencing a reluctant Administration to make the necessary safety changes. My few but memorable interactions with Mary Ann were significant enough to know she was someone who I could count on to do the right thing. It's a bitter-sweet moment when one of these Legacy reminders pop up about her. Sad she is gone, so glad to have worked with her.

I only knew Mary Ann through encounters at work. She was always a joy to be around. For as little as I knew her, I felt a spark of life had moved on when I learned she had died. I sense she's still sparkling, just in a better place. Thoughts and prayers for her loved ones as they remember her!

Larry:
We are saddened by your loss.
Our deepest sympathy go out to you and your family.

I am heartbroken to hear of Mary Ann's passing. I had no idea and would have loved to be at her memorial. I have so many wonderful memories from Wesley, singing in choir and Hallelujah singers with Mary Ann and Larry. Oh, Larry, my heart hurts for you and the family. She was a beautiful, loving, compassionate person and friend.

Very sad to hear. Mary Ann was such a pleasant, happy person to be around when she worked at Mercy/ St. John's. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

So very sad to hear this. Mary Ann was such a wonderfully sweet person. I always enjoyed seeing her on her regular visits to the Microbiology lab, and hearing her stories about Larry and the kids. I would see her car around town and recognize her "MarNan" license plate. My sincere condolences to her family during this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss, she was a sweet lady.

I can't believe it...so much love and life Mary Ann brought into our world. Sending love to you kids and to Larry. Praying that you feel God's warmth and strength as you face these sad days.

Offering our deepest condolences at this difficult time.
