Mary Ann,
So sorry to hear about Alan’s passing. He was a good man. I have really fond memories of when I was a kid and our families would hang out together and I would run around with Amber and Brendon. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mary Ann,
I lived down the street from you on Keys Avenue and we attended Lanphier together. I just saw this and I wanted to tell you how sorry I am to learn of your husbands death. You will be in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Patricia Daniels Gietl
