Mom:
I am already missing you so much! My eyes can't stop leaking and my nose can't stop running because I'm thinking of you all the time. You were a big piece of that rock that inspired & guided me with so much love in the direction that I am in today for 55 yrs., and now some of that rock has broken away. It has been 10 yrs., since you've seen Debbie, so now it"s her turn to once again share your smile, love and compassion. I know you both will continue to guide me from up above until the day comes that I join you. I Love & Miss you, Shari XOXOXO

John Sr. and family,
The Ledoux family is deeply saddened at the loss of Mary (or Mrs. Olari as she was known to the neighborhood youth). She was very important in my early life (Joseph), in key moments when right and wrong needed to be immediately and properly defined in the upbringing of children. As such, she has an important and dear place in my heart. I (Joseph) remain thankful of her counsel. As life went on, her contributions were appreciated, respected, and always honored. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that she will be missed.

Dear John and family: Lawrence and I send our deepest sympathy to you for the loss of Mary Ann. When we lived on Burma Road back in the 60''s, I was so excited for you both with the birth of your twins. Mary Ann and I had some great times together while living on Burma Road.

My thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone of you. Where to begin, some of my fondest memories in Orange were living next door to all of you, my second family. Always an open door, and cookie jar, Mary Ann always made sure there were cookies. We may of lived in two houses but often it felt like one large house. Mary Ann was an amazing woman and will truely be missed. Love and thinking of all of you with very fond memories!!! Rest in peace Mary Ann, heaven has one more amazing angel, fly high... Lots of love Johnna

Johnny and Family, So sorry to hear that Mary passed this week. I know it will be difficult to charge on but please know that you have touched so many lives and that those you have touched are all praying for you at this time. I can remember it like it was yesterday that you and Mary would come by the house and cut all the kids hair in the neighborhood. We all looked the same, "crewcuts". All the best.
