Our dearest "Big Mar" was so many women wrapped in one!! She always had a smile to share, a dollar in her pocket to give and a love for life that only few have. As my mind wanders, my memories of her are endless, as she was my "2nd mother" for 43 years. She gave so much to so many and now God has given her a beautiful resting place full of peace. To Big John, Coll, Mar, Rich, son John, Michelle and the kiddies, I will pray for your saddened hearts and will continue to share our laughs with...

Maryann,
You will be sorely missed by all of us who loved you. You have been a very special part of our lives. I remember all the happy times we shared down the shore. I have so many wonderful memories of our special thanksgiving dinners together and our laughter while washing the dishes. We have shared a special relationship that I will miss. You have left us way too soon. Love, Mary Ann
