RIP MARYANN. TO RAY AND THE FAMILY MAY GOD WRAP HIS ARMS AND YOU ALL AND COMFORT YOU IN YOUR TIME OF SORROW
Mary Ann was a really sweet and fun loving person , I loved our times we had together, I grew up with her and she will always have a special place in my heart, sending out Prayers , Love, and Hugs to the Family 🙏
MaryAnn was my first cousin,my friend. Her heart was as big as her daddys. She would do anything for you and give you her last penny. I cherish memories of playing in her playhouse,riding banister rails,jumping from cherry tree to pony’s back in chicken pen, playing in water at Pamlico and hiding from Ray,John,RW and Watson in hay barn. Helping you make that delicious peanut brittle at Christmas. You loved your nieces and nephews like they were your own children. You took them to dentist and you taught them how swim and have fun in Bulluck’s pool. No one loved fishing on pier more than you. Our last conversations were about Jesus and heaven. I know you are happy now,you were looking forward seeing your daddy. I love you the mostest was your last words to me and I replied I love you more. I will see you in heaven after I kneel at feet of Jesus.
My deepest sympathies to your family. Keeping you in my prayers.
Aunt Mary will forever live in my heart. I enjoyed spending time with her and I know she is now dancing with the angels.
