Tommy, Ronnie, Joey and Shelly, so sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of your mom, a few that come to mind are baking christmas cookies with Norma! We are never prepared to lose our parents. You’re mom reached out to me several times after loosing Norma, and I cherished our conversations. I find comfort knowing that she is in a better place.
Sorry for your loss. I used to live next to her on Bayless. She was a great and sweet neighbor. She will be missed.
Ms. Mary Ann was a beautiful soul and I am so very grateful to have got to be a part of her life, even for just a little while.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. ❤️
