Mary Ann has an enormous heart for children. She is a school guidance counselor and a very active member of our church. She is the organizing passion behind our outreach efforts. Because of Mary Ann's energy and commitment, our small church has and is providing food, clothes,presents,support for families in our local area. Mary Ann also is a compassionate and caring school guidance counselor, in the past has worked with many community agencies to help with the same issues. She is tireless working in her own quiet way, never looking for glory, just doing the work.

I hold her up as a model for 'walking the path of compassion'.
