I am so very sorry for your loss. She was such a kind person as I knew her for years at the dentist office. Jeanne Aimone
I met Mary Ann through my terrific neighbor who passed Dorothy Jaffe . Mary Ann was a pleasure to meet anywhere in Leonia . She always had a kind word, praise for another neighbor , or a good story . Rest Mary Ann.
