We are so sad to hear of Mary Ann's passing. She was a wonderful mother, mother-in-law and grandmother to our dear friends, the Sinellis. We remember her beautiful smile, pride and spirit at her grandson, Andrew's hockey games. Sending love and prayers to her family now, and in the difficult days ahead.
