Mary Ann was my friend and I thought of her as a sister for over 40 years. We had some good times together and we both shared the love of birds and animals.We shared our inner most thoughts and fears. I still can’t believe that she is gone, I loved her dearly and will never forget her. She had a heart as big as all outdoors but never hesitated to tell you what she thought. Rest in peace my dear friend. Love, Mary Lynn

I was saddened to learn of Mary Ann’s passing today. She was a very unique person who touched those who knew her in an uplifting manner and I hold a sense of intense privilege and gratitude for having been allowed to share a part of her life. I know how much you will miss her, but I also know you will remember the many blessings of the years you shared together and that her life gave you many memories too beautiful to forget. Take comfort in knowing a special angel is now watching over you, and may the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. My prayers, sympathy, and warm thoughts are with you.
