Not sure what to say?

The love of our saviour, Jesus Christ, illuminated from Mary Jo's beautiful face and glorious voice. She was so thoughtful of everyone around her. Loving God and serving others was definitely her way of life. Even in her last few months of life, she was still persistent when it came to sponsoring guests to the Great Banquet. Mary Jo, I know that our Lord has rewarded you greatly for your work for His kingdom. David and Kathy, my prayers are with you. I know this is a difficult time for...

I first met Mary Jo at my wedding nearly 30 years ago. She attended with Orly, who worked with Rich. Over the years she and I became great friends. I already miss her.

I have wonderful memories of her faithfulness. She had accepted God's love and kindness and was motivated to show that love and kindness to others. When my mother died she came along side of me sensing and filling a void.

She was on God's team abounding in love and service to the church, and I am grateful...

I've known Mary Jo since 1964. She was my 5th grade music teacher and we've remained friends ever since. She was a great teacher and a great friend. A computer hard drive could easily be filled with joyous stories about Mary Jo and her good works. Good bye and God Bless.

Mary Jo was a friend to my Mom, Anne Tone, a fantastic Gardener, Loved the Lord, A part of the Great Banquet, and always praised me for my love and support to my Mom. We all will miss her, but we will see her soon. Much Love to David and his fiance.

To family and friends of Mary Jo, we join you in mourning the loss of Mary Jo. She was a valued member of the Calumet Parliamentary Unit and could always be counted on pitch-in and help with meetings and seminars.
We miss her.

I will always remember her grin as she would tease me everytime she saw me because we shared the same first name. She was a sweet, nice and kind fellow gardener.

My deepest sympathy to her family. I didn't know her well but she was a very nice lady and a garden club friend.

The Calumet Parliamentary Unit will surly accepts the void, which no majority has control. The stimulating, thoughtful moments which Mary Jo gave to the unit shall always be a point to recall. Never to leave a point which was not completely understood. She provoked thought and possible interpertation. The adjourn time always has precedence, even when One is the majority . The Gavel is silent.

My first memories of Mary Jo were when we sat by each other in the Ogden Dunes Community Church choir. I enjoyed sitting by her because she kept a tune much better than I! Then later she was my sponsor for the Great Banquet. And in the last couple of years she, two other friends & I have gone out together to celebrate our birthdays.
