Mary Jane Simmons

Dear Simmons Family - We were saddened to learn of Mary Jane's passing. She was an exceptional woman. She helped us at a time no one else was able to and we will always be grateful. May God give you peace and comfort at this time.

My sympathy goes out to Rep. Simmons's family, friends and staff.
We in school nursing have lost a dear friend and an advocate and champion for school health care services for the children of Massachusetts.
The dedication and energy she gave to her constituants and to all in the Commonwealth was just amazing.
She will be greatly missed, though long remembered for all of her achievements.

To the Family and Friends of Mary Jane Simmons:

Representative MaryJane Simmons was a true champion of school nursing. From the very beginning of MSNO's lobbying for funding for school nurses, Representative Simmons was by our side.

Dear Simmons family, so sorry to hear of your loss. I used to babysit for Mary Jane, Susan and Barry when they were kids and I was in high school.

I watched Mary Jane grow from a beautiful little girl to a wonderful young woman who did so much for the rest of us in this city. She was a champion for nurses in the school system as well as for the care of the developmentally disabled. Your Mom would be...

Mr Simmons and Family,
Mary Jane was my nurse through Dr. Rossi all my childhood. She helped me through a very difficult time in my life. She had alot of love to give to everyone, she never ran out of it and everyone felt it.She also helped me to get what I needed in school. It was an honor to know her and love her and to be loved by her. I loved her and will miss her deeply. Please except my sympathies to you and your children.
love always

To Ronny and Family,
I am so saddened to hear that Mary Jane has passed on. I have fond memories of growing up while helping my father with her campaigns. My first memory of her bringing me a hot chocolate while I held a sign for her on the curb of Lee's Cleaners will stay with me forever. Leominster truly lost one of its best and brighest stars...now Mary Jane will shine in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
God Bless,
Lauren
