    From every one of “the Fullers” we send out our love and sympathy to the entire Shillito Family. Mary Ann was one of our favorite neighborhood moms. I know our momma loved her much. Here’s to her legacy of such a beautiful family. She lives on in the hearts of every one of you. Hugs, From the Fullers.

    Maureen & Family…. I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom had a great smile and she radiated joy! I have such happy memories of her. I Know you must be in a lot of pain during this difficult time. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    Maureen.. It meant so much to see you at my dads wake in February 2013. We shared such a long history together at Good Shepherd and I value those great memories. We live in Houston now but I wish I were closer at times like this so that I could stop in and support you in person. Please know that I am with you in spirit and in prayer.
