Hearing of the passing of Mary Ann Fordham Stewart has saddened me. As for some of us are at a loss thinking/ wishing how we/ I should have spent / had more time or kept in touch with her. I am one! But as I read her obituary it brought comfort to me on the readings of her family. Though she will be missed so much. It is comforting knowing how much she loved and was loved. She was a beautiful person and a wonderful friend. Easy to talk to. My classmate, one of the best to have! My Prayers to my Lord God is to Embrace her Family and Friends with Comfort. With Deep Sympathy Classmate Janice (Eaddy)Jones (Ronald)
