MaryAnn Arcarese

Please know that you have my deepest sympathy for a most courageous woman. She was a kind and hada a spirit that encompassed all. Mary Ann was mostly full of laughter and mischief when I knew her best (and that is how I wish to remember her). I have and will continue to miss her. I know she is happy now.

Mar was my sister and my best friend. She will remain in my heart always. I will never, never forget her. Everyone tells me that in time it will get better, but I do not see how. She was MY LIFE. She was willing to do whatever she could to get better. We took her to so many specialists, even tried natural measures. She had the most heart breaking treatments, but never complained. It was so hard for us to watch. We held her hands and she always melted our hearts with her smile and with...

Dear David, Michael & Dorothy and Jeff,

I will remember Maryann as the great fighter.....she fought a good fight to stay so she could see you graduate from College and see you marry and have Grandbabies....All of you loved her and she loved you with all her heart....Special people in our lives may pass on but the memories live on in our hearts....I always told Maryann she was the Sophia Loren of the 20th century a classic with so much beauty....inside and out....may she and you know...

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. MaryAnn was such a wonderful person and I feel blessed for having had the opportunity to know her.

Dave and Katie, I am so sorry for your loss of your mom. She was so courageous. My prayers are with all of you.

Don't think of her as gone away;
her journey's just begun.
Life has so many facets -
this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
from all her pain and fears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where pass no days or years.
Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing, but our sadness
can really pass away.
Think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched.
For no one loved is ever lost
and she was loved so...

Mikey-
I am deeply saddened to hear about your Mother. She was an amazing, courageous, and caring woman (One of the strongest people I have ever met). Your Mom was always smiling, no matter what, and that was truly inspiring. You and your family will always be in my prayers. I am thankful she is no longer in pain and I know that she will always be proud of you. I know how hard this must be for you, and I want you to know, that I am always here for you no matter what. Love you...

Mike, Dave, Katie, Dor & Jeff:
I had the pleasure of working at Kodak with Mary Ann for several years. We spent many lunch hours at the mall! She was beautiful and the best dresser in all of Kodak. We shared many ups & downs, but the worst day was when she told me she had breast cancer 8 yrs ago. She had a wondeful family support system to help her thru the years. I inserted myself as much as possible. Last summer I had the pleasure of caring for her and staying at her house every...

MaryAnn, made my days at Eastman Kodak B601 full of laughter and love. She, I called her "Noni", was always there for me and was like family to all of us at the Call Center that we worked in. I feel honored to have known MaryAnn. She is truly an "Angel".

May she live on in all of our hearts
