I was a friend and associate of Mary Ann at Paul Revere. She was a very smart lady with a great sense of humor. We shared many fond memories - going to the Jimmy Buffett concert, to the North End in Boston and our walks at lunch to Elm Park. We had many laughs. My thoughts and prayers are with Mary Ann and her family. God Bless.
