Mary Ann & I grew up together in Olar, SC. We went to grammar school together and graduated from High School together. I remember her as being a very shy, sweet & caring person. I will always remember the times we rode the school bus to her house & I would spend the night with her & her family. She will remain a sweet memory to me as my childhood friend.

Robert
I was so saddened to hear Mary Ann had passed. After 59 years I know you and children will miss her terribly.
I will not be able to attend Thursday for I am living in 2 places now- Beaufort and James Island.
I hope to be in Beaufort near Jeff in about a month full time.
I hope the best for you and family.
