    Mary Ann had a wonderful Christian spirit…so very kind, giving, and caring! She was my next door neighbor for all her years here in Va. Through years of hardships, she always wore a smile. We had a special friendship and shared everything from scripture verses to desserts and her Italian recipes. I thank God for leading us into each other’s lives and am thankful she is pain free and has eternal rest now.
