My Deepest Sympathy to the McElrone family. I am so glad to had a chance to get to know Mary-Ann. Time spent with her and Jack at our dear friends home in Dallas Texas was always a great time. Swapping recipes, hearing family stories and enjoying cocktail hour are some of the fond memories we have. She will be dearly missed and leaves behind a wonderful family she can be very proud of. With Love, Rich & Betsy Pelletier (Purple Feather) XO
