    Mary Ann and I worked @ SFS&H together at the Broad Avenue location during the late 80's. That was my first job and Mary Ann was like second mother to me. I enjoyed working with her so much. She was full of knowledge and quick come backs. She is one of those co-workers I always missed when I moved on to another job. Thinking of you all. May she rest in peace. Anita Conte-Schultz
