I couldn't believe that my sweet friend had passed. She has been on my mind for so long and I "googled" her name to contact her today since I didn't have her number with me. She is truly the kindest person I have known and memories of her will always be with us. We all know where she has gone and is probably dancing with Ann Kathryn. Our love is with all the family.

I would like to express my deepest sorrows on the passing of Mary Jane. She was a wonderful person, so full of life and so generous. My fondest memories of her are how welcome she always made me feel every time I would see her. I wasn't able to visit her often over the years, but when our paths would cross whether through St. Louis, in LA or in Nashville, she was as warm as if I saw her each and every day. She was both family and a friend that will not be forgotten.

I would like to offer my condolences on Ms. Mary's passing. I was honored to have her as a patient through Alive Hospice. She brought much enjoyment to me with her sweet spirit and wonderful facial expressions of love. I miss her and wish the family my best. Thank you again.
