Lynn and kids,
Your house was a central point in my younger days and Mary Jane made that house a home. I can hear her voice floating down the steps to greet me standing in the doorway of the store with my nickle and gap-toothed grin all to get pixie sticks and tootsie rolls (my regulars). To meet her at my in-laws years later was great fun. She hadn't changed, still joyful and full of highjinks. I know your hearts are hurting and for that I am truly sorry. You are loved and being held up in prayer.

Mary Jane was a wonderful kind woman I have so many great memories of her that I know i could write for hours about. But what i remeber most was all the times i would ride my bike up to thier house and park it and stop in to see her and i would go in and sit down and she would offer me a glass of water and we would talk or i would sit and watch her sew. God i miss those days and i know she will always be with me in spirit.
