I was a classmate of Mary Ann's at St. Meinrad and I have fond memories of her in her younger days. I never really knew what happened to her through the many years. Our parents used to play cards together. Sorry to hear of her passing, although I wanted you all to know that I keep her in my prayers. I have relation that go to St. Benedicts in Evansville named Loehrlein, although I now live in Terre Haute. My condolences to your family. Patricia (Peggy) Denning LaGrange
