Dear Kathy and Kelly – I had fond memories of our mothers working together at Thomas Pullen. MaryAnne was a valued member of the staff. She and my mother were very close having worked together for many years. Both of your parents were kind and caring. When I was younger, I recall your father giving me advice about saving money and getting a good education – thankfully, I listened. Your mother and I shared an interest in antiques and enjoyed each other’s company. Your parents meant the world to us. I am deeply sorry for your loss and wish you and your families peace.
Love,
Pam Byrd
Dear Kathy and Kelly,
I was just informed about your Mom’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with her at Pullen for 9 years. We kept in touch after retirements. Loved her sense of humor, her professionalism and genuine caring for students. One life lived-many lives touched!
