Our cousin, Mary Ann, was without doubt the most pure-of-heart person I’ve ever known. Our mothers were sisters and growing up our families lived two blocks apart. I believe Mary Ann never had a moment of envy, anger, or unkindness. Truly a pure and saintly woman. Enjoy your reward, dear cousin. Sharon Welling Gilbert
