I still think of MJ when I write something and wonder what she would think of it. RIP MJ.

I worked with Mary Jane on the 100th anniversary of the Opera House fire with the Boyertown Historical Society. She was such a lovely and gracious woman. She always had a smile on her face and I really enjoyed getting to know her. My sympathy to her entire family and all her friends. What a wonderful life she lived!

My sympathy to the entire family. Mary Jane will be missed by the many people whose lives she touched in a special way. She was a leader in every sense of the word and I appreciate her friendship.

I have such fond memories of MJ! I was her daughter Stephanie's friend in high school and I spent many MANY weekends at the Schneider house in the woods, playing peonuckle and hanging out with their Great Dane draped across my lap. Good times! And MJ was so warm and accepting, I always felt welcome there, like I was just another one of the kids. I remember at some point reading stories she'd written about each of her children when they were babies, and how each one had their own special...

My sincere sympathy to MJ's family. She was my good friend and mentor for many years. I met her in the early 1980's at a creative writing class she taught in Boyertown, and she just recently critiqued a piece I wrote for my class here in Denver, CO. I will miss her; even though we were so many miles apart we stayed in touch. God bless all of her family. My prayers are with you.
