My dearest "2nd family", no words can express how sad I am for our loss of Mary Ann. She was my closest and dearest friend, and the memories we shared I will cherish forever.

Words are hard to come by when something tragic likes this happens. My prayers have been with all of the Schwab and Chancey families and for the repose of Mary Ann's soul. Gymnastic and cheerleading talents may have been her strengths but even beyond those, I will remember her as a kind and caring person who was a good friend to so many. I may have lost touch with Mary Ann, but like so many other classmates, we hold the memories like we were just with her. I am so very sorry.

There is a bridge that takes us back to brighter years, to happier sunlit days and to precious moments that will be with us always. And these fond recollections are treasured in the heart to bring us always close to those from whom we had to part. There is a bridge of memories from earth to Heaven above... It keeps our dear ones near us, It's the bridge that we call love.
