We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We were neighbors of MaryAnn and Gene in 1972 when we were first married. Gene and MaryAnn were very kind to us and we have thought of your family many times over the years. I still use several of MaryAnn's recipes and thought of her everytime I used them.

I am deeply saddened at MaryAnn's passing. We attended Washington High School, and even though we didn't have classes together, I always knew who she was, and I knew her Dad quite well. I saw MaryAnn at the Target store about 2 years ago or so, and she told me she had just been diagnosed with lung cancer, and I have kept her in my thoughts and prayers ever since then. My sincere and heartfelt sympathy to all of you. She was a sweet lady and I'm sure she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

We are so sorry to read the news about MaryAnn. Recalling a period of time, back in the sixties, when we had Chatty Kathy's Restaurant, I can still picture most of you sitting in a booth at one time or another. There was so much laughter and conversation that it's delightful to remember. I hope, at this sad time, that each of you can recall a wonderful memory. Some people are never forgotten. Our sympathy, Jack and "Chatty Kathy" McArtor
