What can I say about my dear aunt, Mary Ann? Most people know her as a great mother, grandmother, spouse, cook/chef, kid wrangler, reader...well, the list can go on and on. But besides being a great aunt, she was also a great friend.
I'll miss my aunt, Mary Ann, as well as my friend, Mary Ann, even if she did drag me one day to Books-N-Things and introduced me to the works of Robin Cook, Michael Crichton, John Sandford, Nelson DeMille, Lee Child, Douglas Preston, and Lincoln Child. I still remember the first book she handed me, "Mutation" by Robin Cook. If it wasn't for my aunt, I might never have developed the love I have for reading just for the joy of it.
