I just heard of Mary Ann's passing from Nancy (Ford) Fang. I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Mary Ann was a wonderful childhood friend and I received a lovely card from her shortly after I sent her a letter of sympathy after her mother died. I still have the letter, and now it is even more precious.

My condolences to the Brennan family on the death of Mary Ann. I have many fond memories of our times together during our college and grad school years. Our trips to the Apollo 17 launch and Japan are among my fondest. There was always a smile and a joke from Mary Ann when things went awry; a welcome antidote for me. I am sorry I could not be there for the funeral, I was out of town. My prayers go out for Joe and John, who have lost a wonderful sister and friend. I know the Lord is holding her in his arms and she is at peace with her parents.

My sincere & heartfelt condolences to you all at the passing of Mary Ann. I have many AHN memories of Mary Ann driving her home from High School. I remember lunches in the student union at U of Maryland. She was a good woman and may she find peace in God's arms. Prayers!
