We have such beautiful memories of Mary Jane, an extraordinary woman whose affection and thoughtfulness will be remembered fondly by everyone who had the good fortune to be her friend! Her faith, her family, and her friends will continue to inspire us long after her death!

Mary Jane,

Even though our family met you sparingly, we feel very connected to you through all the messages and updates we received from your sister, Sally.

You certainly put up a good fight to the ravaging disease that caused your life to be fore-shortened.

Though you are not physically with us, we know that you are certainly watching over us all.

Your everlasting gracious memories live on forever. Friends and family will never let your kindled spirit die!

In Sympathy,

Thomas, Jacquelyn, Naomi, and Nadiya

Wanted to say how sorry we are to hear about Mary Jane. I go back to knowing the two of you in grade school when I hung around with Jack. Anytime you just want to shoot the breeze, please pop in.

It was a privilege to call Mary Jane our friend and share her great enthusiasm for faith, family and friends. We will all miss her, but she leaves behind cherished memories of caring and love that will remain in our grateful hearts. Her devoted husband, children, grandchildren and siblings will be comforted remembering the very special bond she had with each one of them!

Mary Jane never said anything bad about anybody and nobody ever had a negative thing to say about her. She was always welcoming and called you by your first name as God did on Wednesday when he welcomed her home.

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family Mike. Mary Jane was an inspiration of strength, faith and perseverance. She so loved her family and faith that she fought every day to be with them. She so loved the Lord that she would come to mass when she did not feel well. Your family has an angel to watch over them.
May God bless you and your family as you go through your time of grief.
