Even though we met recently, Mary Ann was a dear friend to me and my heart breaks for Tim and his loving family. She helped support me through my own recent losses and I will never forget her kind words and fragile hugs. I´m sure she is now resting in peace and watching over us all. Her memory is most assuredly a blessing. God bless all of you and I hope you will find peace and comfort as you navigate this great loss.
