Thank you Linda for your kind words and thank you for all you did for Maryann over the years! I know your Mom held a special place in Maryann’s heart! I think she is pretty special too! Cindy
Maryann was very attentive to my mother for several years on her journey to the kingdom. She brought her Holy Communion and then visited with her. I am grateful for her kindness! Rest in Peace!
Thank you Virginia, for your kind words! She did touch many lives over the years! Speaking of years, it’s been quite a few since we’ve seen you, hope you are doing well!
It is with deepest sorrow that I learned one of the lights of my life passed, but know she can meet so many o f the people she researched when doing her genealogy. She added so much to my knowledge of the family and what it was like growing up on the Dairy. I fondly remember her stories and then Ralph would take us out for coffee at the Village Inn. You are the last of the McCue family cousins, rest well my friend!
Thank you John! I know you and Maryann shared many stories and much genealogical information! She was a pretty special woman and will be missed by many!
