We'd like to include MaryAnn in Temple Beth Ami's In Memoriam segment during Yizkor this year.  Would it be possible to get a picture of her.  There's no cost.  We just want to honor her memory.
Thank you,
Cantor Larry Eschler

My Tribute to Mary Ann Greenburg
Mary Ann and I grew up on the same block, only a few houses from one another. From the day we met, we became instant friends for life. Her loss to all whose lives she touched is incalculable. She remained during her lifetime, as beautiful inside as she was outside. She was truly unaware of the power and impact her inner and outer beauty had on those of us whose lives she touched.
She was always surprised by compliments in an authentic way, and made everyone around her feel appreciated and respected--no matter who they were, so long as there was something in them, regardless of superficial outward trappings. Mary Ann was generous with her kindness, but was not at all naïve or unaware of our shortcomings. For those who were blessed with her friendship, she would softly offer a helpful comment about our shortcomings, always encouraging us to do bette, without making us feel disrespected or defensive.
Those who were not so blessed with her friendship, probably still remember those very insightful rebukes, often followed with humorous and also insightful comments. Then, having shared her thoughts, taken their measure, Mary Ann moved on without harboring anger or resentment--another great talent Mary Ann possessed.
Mary Ann was spontaneous in her boundless joy and appreciation of us in her circle of friends and family, always with a kind word, or if not close by, with a telephone call or a card.
Mary Ann was not only close to me, but was a part of our family. Of note, my father, Aaron, introduced Mary Ann to her husband, Peter. I know she mourned his loss, but with a brave heart, as was her nature, when facing adversity. Her loss to all whose lives she touched is incalculable
For those who might say, "Mary Ann is in a better place," I say, No, she will make that place better, as she did in this world. Farewell, my good friend. You will be missed.
Your friend, Esther (Blynn)
