My most heartfelt condolences to Mary Ann’s family. I worked with Mary Ann for the past 3 years. We took breaks together, went to Subway for lunches and helped each other during our work day. She was such a big part of my life, she was like a sister to me. Mary Ann had a heart of gold. She was so knowledgeable and always did more than what was asked of her. I used to joke with her to get her to laugh and watch her beautiful smile. I miss you dear friend. Heaven has gained an Angel.
My sincere condolences to the entire Ruede Family. I worked with Mary Ann for about one and half years. She was the most kind and gracious lady. I was her support and made her laugh at work.
