My deepest condolences to Mary Jane´s nephews. Although she was a classmate of my late sister, Theresa, she and I only met years later while working at Mellon Bank where we became friends. Over the years, we attended many events together at W & J, namely concerts and football games. We enjoyed many dinners and lunches with fellow colleagues until recent months when she was unable to do so. Mary Jane will be greatly missed by us. May she rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to Mary´s nephews. My mother , Cora is a friend of Mary´s from her days at Mellon bank. Your mom bought my mom and dad a wonderful rolling pin for a wedding gift. My mom has made many wonderful pie crusts with that rolling pin. Mary will be sorely missed. I frequently saw her at the Washington hospital and we always said hello. The world has lost a lovely lady. You are all in our prayers.
