I will always remember the wonderful ways in which you cared for your children, and I include myself in that sentiment.
I consider myself privileged to have had you as my Mother-In Law as our relationship was unique.
Unlike many typical Mother-In Law/ Son-In Law relationships who's time together are filled with issues, disagreements, and little love shared. Ours was awesome! I was doubly blessed when I married your daughter. Not only was I given such a wonderful girl for a wife, I was equally blessed with the addition of another caring woman in my life in having you for my Mother-In Law.
You have made my life a better place for having known you, and for carefully guiding me, and us for twenty five years this month. The void we feel today and tomorrow will never be filled with an equal bearing fruit as your love has given us.
Throughout the years we've changed. We've taken leave of one another across the landscape. We've taken jobs in places that made it difficult for us to be together. As a result of this divide and often times we were only able to enjoy each other's company on few occasions and often times was only a brief holiday or two in the span of a year. Our personal growth was never fractured by this distance as you were always just a phone call away. We could always be comforted by your voice during weekly calls, and often times daily, and felt that it was as if you were standing right next to us during these times, consoling us, encouraging us, and sharing your concerns for us no matter where we were, we always felt your presence and love no matter where we where.
You are remembered this day, Mothers Day, with the love of angels in addition to our love we send.
Grateful for all the times we've shared together, and for the many meaningful memories we have captured and have seen together. There will always be a constant reminder that I will have every Mother's day in the years to come, as there is a profound history we've shared as a family, and I am humbled.
Holiday's will never be the same without your loving laughter, and of course, food will never taste as good without you by our side to share it with. Without you in your kitchen, sharing some of the finest in MAB's "Feasts n Fixing's" whether with friends, and or family, your generational knowledge in the kitchen was an art form. You're masterful meals and your required results when preparing perfection in your kitchen was as if one were sculpting a masterpiece in a studio, as with much of what you touched with you loving hands throughout your life.
I hereby declare on this day, that from this day forward, all double rainbows are officially to be called "MAB-Bows". And, upon sighting of these special moments and anomalies, we will be reminded that you are giving us huge hug with both arms, and that we are reminded that we are still being looked after, loved, and constantly protected by a loving Mother.
God bless you with goodness, comfort, and warmth from our hearts forever.

Maryanne Brown represented me and helped me buy my first house. I vividly remember driving her by the house I'd found, and us doing the tour. When it came time for the home inspection, the inspector had found something of interest on the roof of the garage, and was explaining it to us. Maryanne jumped right up on the ladder and climbed up to the roof to see firsthand what he was talking about.
This may seem like a superficial story, because it relates to her career, but she was so happy and excited for me, and took her job and its responsibilites personally and seriously. I think that's probably an extension of how she took all the roles and responsibilities in her life. And my memories of and experience with her have stayed with me for more than 15 years, which for me, speaks volumes, and more than I could put in to words here. I am so glad I got to know her, even for the little time that it was.

Maryanne and I worked together as partners in the real estate business for over 10 years. She had been in the business for 30 years and I was relatively new. She was a generous partner and shared so many ideas that helped to make our work do pretty well. Our favorite times were when we had an open house on a new property. We would cook and bake to make a nice meal for the other agents who were coming to learn about the property. In all the years we worked together we were able to totally trust each other and never were disappointed in that trust. After a while I had to move away but we always kept track of each other. One visit I will never forget was during the time of 9/11. We watched as the towers came tumbling down and listened to the military planes flying up and down above the Potomac River. Maryanne and I were both lucky to have wonderful families that we could always count on for support. My love goes out to Fred, Kathy and Mike and know that Maryanne was so greatful for their good care during her illness. She was a blessing to us all and to many other people who knew her. If I close my eyes and listen carefully, I can hear her wonderful New York voice. Maryanne, I do miss you!

Our mother will always be with us, with such love, in our hearts and memories. Without a doubt, every year on April 30th, we shall find ourselves saying, "Happy Birthday, Mom". We are so grateful she was our Mom and are very proud of her for all her life's accomplishments. We love you, Mom. Kathy, Fred, and Mike. xoxo
I give you this, one thought to keep - I am with you still, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quite birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone - I am with you still in each new dawn.

My family moved into the house next door to MaryAnn in May of 2004, and we moved ourselves, so I am sure that she thought we were nuts, as we moved pickup truckload after pickup truckload into the house, with light up Christmas reindeer piled on top! :) We waved to each other and chit chatted from time to time, but then one day, MaryAnn came and knocked on my door. She asked if she could come in, and she told me that she had cancer, and that her doctor told her that she would have to give herself injections, daily. She told me that she knew that she couldn't do it herself, and her son, Fred, couldn't do it either, and she didn't know what to do. She was frightened and vulnerable, but yet she reached out to me for help. As a nurse, I told her that I would be happy to help her, so I started going over to her house each evening to give her the shots that she needed. The first few visits took 15-20 minutes, but they gradually got longer and longer as our friendship grew,and MaryAnn told me story after story about her fascinating life. I learned alot about New York and her German upbringing, and the amazing work ethic that her widowed Mother instilled in her. I got to know her wonderful cat, Gizmo, who was by her side much of the time, and her son, Fred, who we call Rick. Rick was like MaryAnn's sidekick; and together they got through so many tough times. MaryAnn was a dear and cherished friend for over 10 years, and I will miss her so much!
