To Mary Anne’s family,
I was saddened to read of Mary Anne’s passing. She was such a beautiful bubbly personality with a musical laugh as she danced across the net on the tennis court, intercepting any ball that came too close. The world will be a sadder place without her.
Please accept my Deepest Sympathy at this time.
