Fremont, NE Monday, July 22, 2019 There is not enough words to express how much Mary Ann impacted my life! She was a fantastic woman. Smart and Witty. No matter what she faced in life, she did it with Grace! She always had good advice & I looked forward to showing her pictures from my life. I believe that she is looking down upon us with a great big smile knowing that she was and still is LOVED. Thank you for sharing her with me AND everyone at Dunklau! I am gonna miss the heck out of her. XoxoMaggi Bade
