Jessica and family, time can and will heal any pain for you, but your mom's memories will live forever in your hearts. Your mother was a wonderful woman and I am so happy that I got to visit with her just so recently.

I had the honor of knowing Maryann for the past 16 years. From that first day I met her, she made me feel that I was part of her family. Always happy to see you! Maryann became my second mother, always there when you needed someone to talk to, always there when you needed someone to laugh with, always there without any prejudgments. She was one of a kind and I am a better person for having the opportunity to share part of her life. I will miss the crazy greetings we would offer each other on...

Jessica,
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but LOVE leaves a memory no one can steal.
It doesn't get better, it just gets different and you don't get over it...you just get through it.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

John and family, Words cannot express how truly sorry I am for your loss. My memories of Maryann are many, specially our annual trips to the shore every summer when we would sit on the beach for hours and just enjoy each other's company. I am comforted by the thought of our mothers together again in heaven, where I am sure they are enjoying a glass of wine, a good book and a ton of laughs. I love you all and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
