My condolences to the family. Your mom was a member of our dining group and a former neighbor on Mayo Road,we lived across the street. We didn't reconnect until she moved to Bston Rouge after Katrina. The group enjoyed many fine dining experiences. You are in my thoughts and Prayers.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Mary Anne was a good friend when we played poker every Sunday at our friends Ginny Kay and her husband Al's house. We had so much fun, especially when Ginny Kay's mother, Miss Sadie, would fix food and delicious desserts during half time. We would play from 5 until 11 at night.

Mary Anne & I shared many good times together. We used to enjoy meals at a little Chinese restaurant that was on Metairie Road. She was a good & kind friend.
