My heart is breaking. I have so many memories growing up with my cousin Mary Ann. We did a lot of fun things together, and I loved spending time at her house. So sorry she was attacked by MS. At least now she has been restored and can enjoy her heavenly reward. We will miss you.

I am so sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. I did not know Mary well in high school but did get to know her years later from high school reunions. In talking with Mary, I found a kind, gentle soul with a sharp sense of humor!! She loved to laugh!! I am so sorry the world won’t hear that laugh again. Rest In Peace, Mary. May you soar with Angels.
