Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for your loss. I loved Mary like a mom and I always looked forward to delivering her mail! She would greet me with a big hug and a smile! She will be sorrowly missed! I was happy to see her at home a few weeks ago! You are in my prayers, I am so sorry I missed the service!

Paul,My sincere condolences to you and your entire family.

Dear Lisa and Paul,

I was surprised to see your mom's obituary in our Edgerton reporter yesterday. I'm so sorry for your loss. We were neighbors and grew up together in Highwood.

We also will be neighbors again someday, as we have our cemetery plot very close at St. Joe's.

I often wished I would run into your mom when I was putting flowers on my parents and sisters and brothers plot. She always had such beautiful flowers on Patrick grave.

I have a lot of good...

Mary Ann, we will definitely miss you. You were like a Mom to me, you were loving, yet stern, told me to get my act together, and to appreciate the things I have. One year, at the BBB Christmas dinner, Mary Ann won Chicago Bulls Tickets, and I won a watch, lol. She gave me the tickets, for free no question. I remember the white Cutlass Supreme she had, the car was like a 96, but it was clean, immaculate, she told me she had the engine cleaned once a year, and the car barely had any miles...

Mary Ann your extended family at the Chicago BBB wishes your earthly family condolences.

Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear of your moms passing. I have had her in my prayers for quite awhile after hearing her name among the sick at St. Rita's. She sure was a fighter. God surely has a place for her in heaven after all she has been through over the years. I will continue to keep her and Patrick in my prayers.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. I had the great pleasure of working with Mary Ann at the BBB. We remained in touch after our time there, met for lunch, and visited at her home or on the phone many times. Her quick wit, easy laugh, and, of course, love of the Packers, made her a true treasure! I was blessed, and honored, to call her a friend!

It was awesome to work with Mary Ann at the Chamber of Commerce. She was always the sunshine in that place....and in my heart. I am so grateful to have known her. I am a better person to have had her life touch mine. Lisa, you and your family are in my prayers.
