I am shocked and dismayed that I did not learn of my cousins passing until now. I have preyed over learning of this tragedy and hope somehow the family has been relieved. Jeff Carle (son of Margaret, sister of Aunt Peg.)

My deepest sympathies to the Gorman Family. Mary Anne was a truly caring and compassionate associate.  I have only had the few years working alongside of her, here at Methodist, but those were really good times.  She was very effecient in her work here at our hospital and her fellow friends and co-workers, certainly appreciated her in more ways than one. May God hold your hearts close and comfort you in times of sorrow.  She will be missed but remembered for the endearing person that she was.

Blessings to the family,

Kristy Merritt RN, CDE Diabetes Educator @ MLH Germantown

I went to school at I.C. with Mary Anne and she was so witty and had a contagious smile.  Our family is praying for your entire family today and in the days ahead.  God bless you all and may the funny, sweet and awesome memories comfort you all.

Dear Mr. Gorman and Family:

Please know that Mary Ann's friends at Methodist Germantown Hospital are thinking of you and praying for you,  I cannot imagine the pain you must be feeling with the loss of such a wonderful person in your life.  

I pray that God will hold you and your family in his loving arms.

With my deepest sympathy,

William Kenley, CEO
Methodist Germantown Hospital

Mary Anne was a huge support and friend to me at UT and we also were at IC together-pledged zeta mainly cause of her and remember the hanging out and laughter and the 7 degrees of Brownsville connections-she is probably cracking up everyone around her right now-I know she is gone from this life but I find I'm smiling remembering the times together-I just want clyde and her children to know how she made an impact on lives here on earth and how valuable she was!

Praying that God will hold you and your family close, give you strength moment by moment, and grace to continue shining HIS light in this world; just as Mary Anne did constantly.  She showed us how to live a life of joy and love.

Living next door to you for the past 22 years, it will now never be the same. You will be truly missed, my friend. Rest in peace. Libba, Jim, Beth, Sarah and Ginger!

Clyde, my husband and I are your neighbors on Wood Shadows Lane North. George Schober told us of Mary Ann's passing. We hardly know each other, but I'm extending our deepest sympathy on this huge loss for you and your family. Wishing you God's peace and comfort at this difficult time.Sincerely,
Melissa and Don Cook

The year Mary Ann pledged Zeta Tau Alpha at The University of Tennessee, I was president. Her Zeta sisters loved her and we are sad to hear of her loss. Our prayers are with the family. May God comfort you and walk with you in the days ahead. In Christ,

So sorry to hear the news of the passing of an ICHS sister...blessings to all the families involved.

Clyde, my heart aches for you and your family, you have my hugs and prayers. I know your faith is strong and I claim His strength and promises for all of you.

"Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep."
Our hearts are saddened but prayerful for your precious family.
You have been in our thoughts and we just grieve for you all over this tragedy and Mary Anne's home going.  We love you and wish we could be there for the service but we are out of town this week.

Clyde and family, I grew up with Mary Ann. Lived  a block away from her for 25+years. Went to SLS TOGETHER 1-8 th grade and was in the same grade at IC-actually carpooled all 4 years of HS.  She was a great girl and friend and she will be missed.  I know she and Peggy had a great reunion in Heaven with their father and brother john and I know God will hold all of you in his arms and will give you the comfort and peace to get you through this difficult time.  God 'a blessing and his peace be with you all always.

To Clyde and your precious children,
Our hearts are grieving with you in the loss of your beloved wife and mother.  We know that she is now  "in His Presence".  Prayers are going up for you, "without ceasing"! We love you all. We love you all very much.
                         The Selph Family....Paul, Peggy, Casey, Christy, and John

We are so sad to hear about Mary Anne and wish the Gorman family our prayers and thoughts.

Clyde,

My heart goes out to you and your family.

Dear Clyde and family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow.  May God give you comfort and strength.

Dear Gorman family,
I was a good friend of Mary Anne in high school. She was always so funny and such a special sweet girl. I always looked forward to your family Christmas cards each year, you could actually feel the love you all shared. God is with us always,but I think He keeps us wrapped in His arms when we need Him most. I hope you feel his presence warmly surrounding you. 
With my deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers, 
Marilyn Reisser
