Hi Joan....this is Nancy (Hierlihy) Hall and you would remember me from when I lived in Gibraltar. I am so sorry to hear about Mary Ann's death and as I read over the obituary it seems that your family has lost many members. Believe it or not, I think of you often and remember the good times we shared. Please accept my sincere sympathy and if you would like to get in touch with me, my phone is (734) 281-6399.
