    I was so saddened to hear about Maryann. She was a beautiful woman inside and out and a cousin whom I loved snd admired. I will never forget her beautiful smile, sense of humor warmth and of course what a great cook she was. Even though I didn't have the chance to see her often over the past few years, I will miss her greatly.

    Dear Melanie, Stephanie, Matina, and Stasia, It just seems too sad to be true. Your mom was loved by all who knew her. You girls were always such precious and devoted daughters for her. You all were a wonderful second family to me through our childhood. I'm so sorry for your loss. Mary Ann you are a legend!! Lots of love, Sharon xx
