I was sad to find Mary Anne’s obituary. Last I heard from her was probably last fall. She was kind enough to send flowers for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Had she been well, I am sure she would have come in May 2014. She is one of the few people we still knew who was present in May 1989 when we married in Minnesota. In fact she read then a poem I wrote entitled “Ode to Love”. She did a wonderful reading. Since she could not be here this time, I placed a lovely scarf on the altar at the outside gazebo overlooking the ocean in Gloucester. She sent it to me as a gift after I had cared for her in the summer 2013 for about 10 days.
We will always have a special connection.

I am sorry for the entire family’s loss.

Sincerely,
Linda

Daphna and Betty, I am sorry to read of the death of Mary Anne.
I remember all the sisters (and the 2 little brothers) so well
from so many years ago. I hope all is well with you and your families.
