Dear Patricia, Ann, Jessica and Ray, I want you to know that I truly treasured my friendship with Mary Ann. We shared many common passions and I truly enjoyed every moment I spent with her. Even after I left the college, we continued to meet for dinner and enjoyed many, many laughs together. She was always so very proud of her children and grandchildren We always heard about everyone's great accomplishments and she often gave career guidance to my own children. She entrusted my son, Brad, to sell her Honda Civic - the stick shift car that she loved! Thank you for allowing me to spend some time with her during her final days. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
