By accident I found Maryann's name and address after she had returned to OK, having lived in Arizona for several years, and wanted to know if she still lived at that address. It was with sadness that my search indicated she had died in 2014. Maryann and I started to work with a law firm within weeks of each other in 1987. We were co-workers with our work stations next to each other. Since we were new employees we became quick friends. I was sorry when she left as she and her husband had decided to return to OK. As so often happens we lost touch but I thought of her often. As an "elderly" person often does I have begun going through papers, etc and have reached out to long a go friends. I know she was happy when she returned to her previous home and family. We shared many laughs and some tears.
