Tim,
I am sorry for your loss. My prayers go out to you and your family.
Vivat Jesus
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

My sympathies to all of you.
I worked with Mary Jane at Luedkes.
She was such a spunky, sweet lady to be around.
We spent many breaks together, sharing stories (and Larks:))) in the basement. She always brought a smile to my face then, and for years after.
My thoughts are with you all.

Our sincere sympathy to all of you. Mary Jane was the best story teller! She enjoyed telling jokes as well, bringing a laugh or a smile to everyone she met. We will miss her bright personality. Stay close, all of you. Your Mom/Grandma was so very proud of each one of you!

I worked with Mary Jane at Luedke's many years ago. She was funny, sweet and sincerely kind. I always enjoyed it when she was working the same shift as me. My sincere condolences to all of her children and grandchildren.
