John, Virginia, David & Lucia,
I am so sorry to read of Ann Marie´s passing. My memories of her, and all of you, remain in my heart when thinking of my families time living in Rockport. We rented 43 Marmion Way
( the address at the time ) in October 1981 and with our two sons, Ted - almost 3 & Steve - almost 2, needed a babysitter. I found Ann Marie through the church and was blessed with Virginia, who was a great sitter for my sons. Ann Marie became my best friend when living there. She was always doing something for someone or having me pop in with the boys. We were only in Rockport until April of 1982 when we were transferred to Pennsylvania. After that we were transferred to many states and Ann Marie & I lost touch, but I never forgot the warm, personable woman she was, nor the warmth of her family for mine.
I am truly sorry for the loss you have faced. We lost my husband Phil ten years ago and know it is not easy.
My memories of your wife and mother will remain with me always. I hope all of you have been well through the years. I feel certain that Ann Marie is with God, helping others in Heaven as she did on earth.
My thoughts and prayers remain with all of you.
Virginia (Ginny) Rorabaugh
