My condolences to Bill and the family. Maryanne and I go way back to 1st grade. We kept in touch throughout life and her children were the apple of her eyes. Indeed they are great children. We were together through all of life's important moments. I will miss her terribly. She had the sweetest personality and was an overall go-getter.
My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Lolita Vega
My deepest sympathy to Catherine, Bill and the entire family of Mary Anne. Mary Anne and I were classmates at Redemptorist. She was Chairman of our Yearbook Staff. The caption next to Mary Anne's graduation photo reads:
"Perseverance, selflessness, consideration and plunk ---
Had Mary Anne not had these qualities --
You'd not have THIS BOOK!"
What a perfect caption for her. (“Pluck” is having or showing determined courage in the face of difficulties). I served a minor roll on the yearbook staff with her. I can personally vouch for the above caption. She was a great leader and admired by her classmates.
