Dear Tim and family, I am so sorry to read about the loss of your mom. We know life must end, but when the time comes it is still difficult. Your mom was always such a beautiful happy soul. I always enjoyed being around her. I have thought of you many times through the years and was so overjoyed you were doing well and you became a priest. I tried several times to reach you but to no avail. I will pray for your family. I hope you will contact me, I would love to hear from you and keep in touch. I know you must be very busy though. Sincerely, always in friendship Joann

To the Hickey family: I’m sorry for the passing of your mother. Growing up doors down the street on 6th street, I remember playing in your yard and your mother was so sweet.
She leaves with you fond memories that you will forever reflect upon. I always wondered where your family moved to when I passed by your house when visiting from Olathe.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your precious mom. I have such fond memories of her, Uncle Andy and the family growing up. You all are in my prayers as you find great solice in the gift she was to everyone.
To the Hickey family, I am saddened to hear of Mary Ann’s passing. She was always a great and wonderful lady. She always greeting you with that great smile.
