My deepest sympathy for the loss of your Sister, Mary Ann Kost Major… May she Rest in Peace… 😇🙏 ROBERT & DOROTHY MOHER
How I will miss seeing you at church and our wonderful conversations. Mary Ann you always took the time to ask about Lee, Autumn and Noah. You listened with such attentiveness and spoke so eloquently. When you read the scriptures at Mass you did so with joy filled proclamation! You are a dear Sister in Jesus, and I look forward to continuing our heartfelt conversations in Paradise! You are a gem, Mary Ann! ✝️
The world has lost a dear sweet lady. She left us better than she found us. She was a devout person who loved her family and friends to the point of sacrifice. I feel privileged to have known her. RIP Mary Ann.
Mary Ann is my big sister. She taught me to love unconditionally, to stay humble and to stay true to our faith. She was my best friend and we shared wonderful times in Italy, Key West and Sea Isle City. She remains locked in my heart til we meet again. I L U, Mare!
My sister, a trendsetter and a person that epitomizes the meaning of “A life well lived”. Rest in peace Sis.
