My deepest sympathy to Mary Anne's children, grandchildren and other family members. She was a very dear friend without whose smiling face every day on the COTA bus, I would not have made it through the last year I lived in Columbus. I am thankful that I got to have one last visit with her in June when I visited my family in Columbus.

With our deepest sympathy. Mary Anne was a very kind lady. It was truly a pleasure knowing her and being her neighbor in Reynoldsburg. She is often thought of as the plant she got us, a peace lily, continues to bloom.

My prayers are with the family at this time. Mary Anne and I rode the Reynoldsburg Express Bus to work each morning for some time. She was always very pleasant and had a smile for everyone. Also, we worked together for a short time at Captial Elevators & Elevator Inc., but I did not get to know her to well until our meeting on the bus. We have continued to keep in contact through email.

Sincere sympathies on the loss of Mary Anne. I was a former SS&D employee before moving to Pittsburgh and I remember the first time I met her. We were in the hall together and I didn't realize she was an employee. I asked if she needed anything and she introduced herself and shared that she was the other receptionist. After that, we always said hello to each other and she was one wonderful lady. She always had something nice to say and because she was so caring and kind, she was the perfect person to greet clients at the firm. After all, the receptionist is the first impression and she couldn't have done it better. God Bless - you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Please except my deepest sympathy for your loss. Mary Anne was a true joy to work with. Mary Anne is one of my very best clients and was always very easy to please. I can count on one hand how many thank you cards I have received in my line of work the past twelve years, and Mary Anne and her son Craig are one of the few. I will miss Mary Anne. My thought and prayers are with you.
