Dear Papa Jimmy and family,
We are very sorry to hear about the passing of Nana Maryann. She was a very special lady that made Steve and I, as well as our girls, part of the McAllister family. Every day that has gone by since we moved to NC, we have thought of the both of you with love and gratitude. May you and yours find comfort and peace in the arms of the Savior she loved, and in the many memories shared. We love you all, very much.

Mary Ann was loved by so many and will be missed. She has been my sisters neighbor for over 35 years and she has been a very good friend to her. I was always happy to see her and visit with her when I visited Sue. Rest in Peace Mary Ann...you have been a real warrior and gave this horrible disease a real fight!
