My memory of my Aunt Mary Ann was feeling of being welcomed when I spent time in Lancaster with my cousins in summers. Recently I was fortunate to visit with her at our family reunion in Dubuque. It was 50+ years since we´ve seen each other. Still the same kind aunt I remembered...sharp minded, thoughtful and caring, wanting to know about my life. God bless you & comfort your children.
