Mary Jane and I shared two grandchildren, Amanda and Dylan Costinett. For many years she and Gil came up to Seattle each year, alternating Thanksgiving and Christmas. I so much enjoyed their visits. Mary Jane had a great sense of humor and an innate kindness. I have greatly missed their visits the past few years. I consider myself very fortunate for having known Mary Jane. I wish that I could give my condolences to Gil, their children, and their grandchildren in person. I hope that their grief is assuaged by their knowledge that her life was well lived.
