Maryann Mom loved wrestling we would watch it on Saturday mornings way back when I was a kid. She had her favorites. We even went to St. JOES GYM we saw Hulk Hogan before he was big. We would watch along with the family pay per view. She never missed a match.

Her grandfather always said, "Stay away from soda. It´s bad for you. Have a beer instead, but just one."

Nothing goes better with a nice hot cup of tea than a peanut butter sandwich or a piece of chocolate candy.

Just let it go in one ear and out the other.

She was a mean scrabble and card player, and she taught me all her tricks

Best playmate because her great grandkids and she could take turns driving each other in their battery operated cars. Good things do come in small packages.
