I had the pleasure of meeting Mary Ann and Ben when I worked at Country Manor. I will never forget her and Ben; they were so sweet and their love for each other was evident every day. They were both so proud of their accomplishments and children, and I enjoyed our conversations and looking at their beautiful creations of sewing and crocheting. My heart goes out to the family; may you find peace knowing they are together again. God Bless, Ashley
