Miss you Gram! Will think of all of our breakfasts together when we’re able to go to restaurants again; your one-piece strategy every time I play Blokus and other board games with the family; and your enthusiastic cheerleading every time I go to the bowling alley. You forever will be part of the 4M Crew. AMLA&F.

She was a great friend and I worked with her at Boatmens. Lots of great stories and laughter. Sorry for your loss. She always talked about Michael and Matt. Remembering see pictures of Matt at a younger age.

Mary Ann was a true friend and always told me “I love you my friend”. I miss taking her to Mass but she will always be with me at Blessed Sacrament. Michael and Matt you were blest to have had her in your life, make her proud.

To my dear friend for over 30 years. We laughed about our lives and talked about old times over coffee. The coffee and couch was sometimes like a comedy hour. We wanted to write a book together but somehow our time ran out. You will have a special place in my heart. Lots of love forever,

Mary Ann’s nickname was Hubb when I first met her at the Academy of Notre Dame as freshman. In those days it was cool to have a nickname. She will always be Hubb to me. I so enjoyed our friendship as time went by. Thru the years it was fun to meet Hubb and Mo for breakfast or lunch. She has passed but she will never be forgotten.

Will always remember the friendship we formed when working at the Bank. We always had so much fun and enjoyed the
group lunches with all of the secretaries. We tried to get together as often as we could for dinner after she retired, before I was transferred to San Francisco. I will never forget her. Really a special person.

I worked in the Boatmen’s Investment Services Division’s Kansas City office, and had to periodically travel to Boatmen’s headquarters in St. Louis. Mary Ann was the Executive Assistant to the head of Investment Services. When I went over, we would occasionally go to lunch. Mary Ann was beautiful, kind and gracious, not to mention an accomplished business professional. I’m glad my path crossed hers.
