What a relief to hear that you were all able to be with her in her passing from this life. I know that she wanted that! Mary Ann was such a blessing to our family and to me in particular. She worked for us for many years folding laundry, caring for my children and fully sharing in our lives. My kids called her "Grandma Toast" and I remember on many occasions answering the question, "is she our real grandma?" She never held back and gave of herself 100%. We shared our lives and struggles together both physically and spiritually. We would often chat for quite a while after "work" and her love got me through many a rough day. She always had a smile, no matter how she was feeling. Mostly, she always reflected the confidence that God would take care of her and love her no matter what was happening around her. She was a true warrior who loved her family with her whole heart and strength.
I will always remember the times that she would flash me a smile and wink across the room at a gathering at City of the Lord or give me a big bear hug and tell me that God put it on her heart to pray for me. Can't tell you the encouragement that gave me. She has fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. I will miss you, dear friend!
With Love
