Bob and family, I was fortunate to have worked with Maryann at Federal Marine for a few years. We shared a lot of laughs and I found Maryann to be a sensitive, sweet, classy lady who deeply loved her family and friends. May your faith sustain you and your memories comfort you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
