To Florence and all of Mary Jane's family:
I have so many great memories of Mary Jane when we worked together at Wright-Wisner. Her smile. MJ was my favorite prank pulling partner. We would play some of the best tricks on co-workers. Squirting water from a Squirt gun into Dan's ear while he was on the phone talking to a customer, putting tape on the end of Shirley's pencils and hiding in the closet waiting for our next victim to hang up their coat, just to name a few. MJ was always up for a good prank and she enjoyed teasing and to be teased. Mary Jane will be missed, but she is with Abe and their dogs now. I can see her smiling, an image that I will keep forever.
Much Love and Peace,
Pat

I worked for many years with Mary Jane at Wright Wisner Distributing Corp. She was a great friend and a wonderful person to work with. She shared Abe with her friends at work and they will both be missed. Our prayers go out to their family.
