Dear family and friends of Mary Ann,



My very sincere sympathy and prayers reach across the miles to you. Though I have not seen Mary Ann in Many years, I have many fond memories of our years as students at St. Vincents. I knew she was ill, in fact I called one time when we were passing through Baltimore...that was probably our last contact.

Hold all the happy memories in your hearts, and may God grant you the peace which surely she has now found.

Sincerely,

Christi Craig
