Don, I am so sorry for your loss. You were always by her side these past 9 years. I'll never forget how Mary-Ann would always check out my shoes when I visited my mother at Westerly Health, she loved anything with sparkles. I hope that you'll take comfort knowing that she is finally free and checking out all the fancy shoes up in heaven. God bless!
