    To the loving family of Mary Ann: I am so very saddened about the loss of Mary Ann to your family and all who were lucky enough to know her. She was always a shining example of kindness and cheerfulness. Although she had a cross to bear with her difficulty in breathing, she never failed to carry on with a positive attitude. I had the pleasure of knowing her since Rebecca and Jason (my son) were at St. Mary's and have always been impressed by her in so many ways. May your memories of her soon be a source of comfort and joy. She was a gem!

    On behalf of our entire family we would like to send our sympathy to all the Owens children. Our childhood memories of Mary Ann and her siblings are numerous and fond. Mary Ann was always friendly and outgoing. Though it has been many decades since we have shared the same neighborhood on Seventh Street in Oil City, we often reflect on the good times we had with all the "kids" on the block. We will be keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers. The Edwards family
