Dear Dave and Family,
It seems that just yesterday Mary Anne and I were expecting little cousins at the same time. She was a lovely young woman and a pleasure with whom to share pleasant family memories. Love, Mary Ellen

I think about Mary Anne all the time and the amazing impact she has had on my life and the lives of her family, friends and students. She was a gem and one of my most favorite people I have ever known. I have so many snapshot memories of her in my mind and heart and I smile and feel comfort whenever I think of her.
