I met Mary Jane approximately 14 years ago. And we became very close after my Mother passed away 13 years ago. Mary Jane came to me and asked if she could give me hug, she told me she knew something was wrong because I wasn't smiling. Her hug and her kindness made me feel so much better. It was exactly what I needed. We began to talk more and found out that we had a lot in common. We would talk for hours on the phone and I was honored that she invited me into her home and her life and loved me. We talked a lot about family. I know how much she loved her children and how much her teaching and being a counselor meant to her. She was a true treasure to be around and to share a part of her life with me. I have been truly blessed to know her and to be loved by her. She was an angel here on earth and now she is an angel in heaven. I just want to family to know how much I truly love her and always will. She is a very special friend to me, one that left a part of herself with me.
