Re: Weekend Open House - Part 2Mary Ann would always offer me a fabulous orange tea and that's what I'll have this morning to honor her.The Canada/New England cruise that Mary Ann arranged for us last June remains one of my favorites. We were celebrating both sons having college degrees from the University of Minnesota and the oldest's 25th birthday while on board. I will always remember the night of Nick's birthday. Mary Ann had arranged for us to eat in the specialty restaurant on the Maasdam, something none of us had ever done on a cruise. I encouraged the boys to try something they'd never had and Nick ordered his first Porterhouse steak. He was very impressed! We had little cabin gifts and cabin credits as well, compliments of Mary Ann. I reminded my family often that my cruise addict friend, Mary Ann, was reponsible for many of these things. The boys couldn't comprehend someone being so nice to a person they'd never even met in real life. Well, they obviously didn't know Mary Ann. At Christmas last year I sent her a card with pictures of the boys on board the Maasdam. I wanted her to know how appreciative I was for all she did to make our family cruise so memorable. Truly a woman with a huge heart, a sharp mind, and a wealth of people who adored her. She won't be forgotten.Kay
