Dear Micky and family: I grew up with Mary Ann in Union and she was a part of our Teen Toppers Club and a real scholar in our high school. I cannot believe she is gone, but praise the Lord she is where we all want to be someday. I did not know of her illness. We shall all miss her terribly. Please receive our family's deepest wishes for all of you that your memories of her shall be so great and that her fine example will shine on in your hearts forever. Jesus promised to send the Comforter the Holy Spirit and we pray that you be comforted.

Mickey, I just heard about Mary Ann. I am so glad that I had a chance to know your whole family while you directed our music at First Baptist Bonneau. She was a truly beautiful person.

Dear Mickey, Ken Brown called me after the funeral to let me know that Mary Ann has gone to be with Jesus. I remember that you came to Bill's funeral and I always have been grateful for that kindness. I have revisited so many memories in the last few days and I am sorry for not keeping in touch. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Ann

My deepest sympathy is extended to Mary Ann's family and friends. We were in several classes and the band at UHS and I will always cherish the memories that I have of a beautiful, kind young lady. May God grant you peace at this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to you, Mickey, and all the family in your tremendous loss of your beloved Mary Ann! She was such a wonderful friend, and I am so thankful I was able to visit with her not long ago and to reminisce about our growing-up years in Union. It was a joy to share my scrapbooks with her and to talk about all the good times we had had in our youth. I remember, years ago, riding her horse -- and falling off! -- and going to the beach and doing all those fun things we used to do in Union. Mary Ann was such a lovely Christian. It is so sad for us here on Earth to lose her, but we know where she is now... and we look forward to meeting her in Heaven one day. She will be remembered with love at the 50th Reunion of our Union High School Class of 1957 on April 21, 2007.
With Christian love and sympathy,

Dear Mickey and Family,
Mary Ann was a dear friend, and I fondly remember the good times we had growing up together in Union, going to school and to church and to the beach with her mother and Aunt Medora...and, later, keeping in touch by mail as the years rolled by. Mary Ann was such a lovely Southern Lady -- smart, pretty, friendly, and kind. It was a blessing to have known her. She will be missed greatly by her Union friends, but we will hold her memory close in our hearts, especially at our upcoming Union Hi Class of 1957 Reunion...we had hoped she could be there with us on April 20-21, 2007.
With sincere sympathy and prayers,
