My Prayers and love to all the family. My family and the Neilson family were friends for many years. Being Irish, we remained connected. Father Kieran Baptized and then performed the Nuptial Mass for my daughter, Paige Michelle.
We attended school together, and even if I was gone from Charlotte for many years, we remained friends.
Mary Ann was always a sweet, and beautiful girl, and I remember when she and Eddie were married.
My prayers are with you all, and know that there is a Great celebration in Heaven with both of our Clans.
May Peace and Love be with all of you!
Always,
Rosemary Adams LeVoyer

Dear Frantz Family,
I go back many years ago, beginning at St. Ann's School. Eddie was in my class, and my younger sister Sharon was best friends with Cathy. Years have passed, but the memories remain. The Reuss family extends its deepest condolences. May God give you HIS peace and HIS strength during this difficult time. You now have a very special Angel watching over you! My prayers are with each of you.
