I’m so sorry for all of you. I didn’t know your mother Ann, but just reading about her tells me she was an incredible woman–and of course, she raised you and look how fabulously you turned out, so that’s really something. Right after I read about your mother, I found this quote, and it sounds like your mother really knew how to live so it immediately made me think of her.
Rachel Naomi Remen said, “Perhaps the secret of living well is not in having all the answers but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company.”
I’m so sorry for your loss. She must have been an incredible woman, and she left behind an incredible family.
God Bless You.

Mary Ann Martin says
If anyone were to inquire of me….”Who is the most loving mother”? I would have to say “Penny”. If anyone were to inquire of me….”Who carries light into every space she enters”. I would have to say, “Penny”. If anyone were to inquire of me….”Who engenders compassion and understanding in situations to which others would bring criticism?” I would say, “Penny”. If anyone were to inquire of me, “whose laughter enchants the soul and heart”? I would say,”Penny”. And, today, heaven is a better place. My thoughts and prayers to everyone in “Penny’s family”. Mary Ann Martin…. I am sorry that I cannot attend services. I fell on Sunday and I am in bed for 2 more days and in an ortho boot.
