Ken and family, I was very saddened to read of Mary Ann’s passing. She was the first person to welcome me into the neighborhood when I moved into the house next door to her on Lanier Street in 1984. I have so many fond memories of this kind and gentle woman. I was blessed to have known her and she will be in my prayers always.
