I had the pleasure of spending a lot of quality time with Mary Jo over the past few years as her caregiver. During that time we formed a friendship & a special bond. I will treasure the moments we shared, the lessons she taught & the love she gave & will forever keep them close to my heart. Rest in peace my friend,

I only had the pleasure of meeting Mary Jo a few times during the UML summer band camp which bares her name. All though brief, Mary Jo left a lasting impact on hundreds if not thousands of us lucky enough to go to the camp. She will be terribly missed, fortunately her memory will last for a very very long time. Thank you for all you have done, rest in peace Mary Jo Leahey. With much love,
