May God bless you and be a source of inner strength and comfort for you all. I was blessed to have had Mary Jo in my life. I grew up knowing Ann Polhemus “Big Ann” , little Ann, Mary Jo and Family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

It was truly a pleasure and a privilege to get to know and spend time with Mary Jo. I am forever grateful to her for her kindness, support, encouragement, love, and vivacious spirit. She was such a beautiful and remarkable woman and I'm inspired by her strength and how she led her life. I will always remember our time together fondly and especially appreciated her stories, perspective, and wicked sense of humor. I also respect how she treated others and the big, kind, genuine heart she had....

I'm sorry for the loss to everyone who knew Mary Jo. She was the strength of her family her whole life, and raised great kids and grandchildren, while always living her faith.

Paula, I am so sorry for your loss. May you feel God's presence and peace at this time.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mary Jo, as part of her Bereavement Team for the Church of the Nativity. She had a kind heart and always cheerful. Sending her family prayers for strength during their time of loss.

Paula and Fary and Family:
So Very Sorry For Your Great Loss, May God give You The Strength to get through this.

Mary Jo Ross and I worked together at st Francis. She was a wonderful nurse and mentor. I have many fond memories of her. My prayers to the Ross family.
