MaryAnn filled our lives with joy, made us feel loved, and showed us how to get through life's most difficult times with grace.

I pray that we are able to take the love she gave to us and use it to help each other through this time of sorrow. In this way, we only strengthen her memory.

Thank you for letting me be part of your family. I love you all.

All of my memories are of Mary Ann when I was a child. She was a very strong role model for us girls, a single mother raising three children on her own. I grew up with Julie, Richie & mainly Dawn & I can remember nothing ever got past her......She had this "walk" I know Dawn knows the "walk" we could see her coming from a mile away. LOL!!! I cannot remember a day that went by when she didn't have a smile on her face. I know Mary Ann is in a better place. I will do my best to be there for your daughter. RIP LUV Liberty Belle
