Mary Jo, my heart breaks for you. Even though we lost touch over the years, I always knew what a close and special relationship you and John had. I was happy to hear that you had moved back to Ely to be where the two of you grew up - to be amongst friends and family ties. You will be in my prayers, Mary Jo.
