A beautiful lady, I´ll always remember.

Dear MaryJane, I think of you often and the fun times we had together. You were too young to leave. It made me mad. I hope ( if there´s another life) that you´re living it up and enjoying everything you missed here. Thank you for being a good friend! I´ll always love you!

In memory and love for Mary Jane Pola, till death do us part. In one’s life time, we flight attendants make so many friends; however very few are so close that you share so many memories and happenings as much like sisters. When we met we were so young that everywhere we went and everything we did was so much fun. We traveled to far away places like Africa, Lebanon, Syria, Europe, Japan and Hong Kong, etc. Along the way we experienced things that helped form our lives. Mary Jane used these...

My condolences to Mary Jane family and many friends. I worked with her flying for Western and Delta, and even went on vacation with her. We had a great time. She was a great lady, and we'll all miss her.

We were also able to share our love of travel and adventure together. In the early days of Western Air Lines HNL layovers we stayed at an enchanting hawaiian hotel called The Waikikiian Hotel and...

MaryJane was a very special person She had an eclectic personality. Always interested in the creative part of life. Fun to fly with for so many years. She is missed.

It is difficult to believe that Mary Jane was just here; I saw her just the other day! What a journey she must have been on, with all the love and help of her family and dear friends. I too will hold her memory close, for all the gifts she made of herself and her energy, both in the artistic and travel world. There she was in Lake Titacaca at a cultural show when we arrived. And then she frequented Hong Kong, one of many worldly and exotic places that she enjoyed. I am lucky enough to...

Mary Jane was like a piece of fine art; she had the demeanor that unquely beautiful women share and that rarest of qualities--a genuine sweetness.
