My Aunt Maryann was one of the first people to show me what it truly meant to be positive, upbeat, and strong, no matter what difficulties may come in life. She loved music and encouraged me to play the piano. The first piano I had belonged to her and I am so thankful for that gift. I'll always remember her as cheerful, independent, and an eternal optimist. I know she is in a better place now, shining as she was meant to. -Laura Hrivnak
