I have been blessed to have Mary Ann as my friend and neighbor for 18 years. She was a very kind and a deeply religious person.She had a great sense of humor. She would tease how much smarter she was than I because she had a Shaker Heights education. When I could not spell a word, I would call her for assistance. She always had the correct spelling.We had a standard banter. She would complain (joking) about the waste my cats would leave on my property. Her dogs loved what I referred tp as kitty pudding.Mary Ann and Bob really loved each other. It was so refreshing to see two people express their love for each other as they did. They would constantly hold hands and hug when I would eat out with them.Mary Ann is in heaven now. Roy sent a sign three weeks ago that he was waiting for her. He laid down four shiny pennies on the ground for me to find.
