Richie, Jen, Jon, and Marjorie,
I just learned today of the tragic loss of Mary Jane. I am so shocked and saddened by this inexplicable tragedy.

My heart goes out to you all. It has been many years since we were neighbors, but I will never forget Mary Jane's M& M cookies or her incredible blueberry sour cream coffee cake.

I have never known a more devoted mother. She helped me out so many times with watching Ryan and Cody, and I am so sad to hear of her loss. It is hard to believe such a vibrant, beautiful young woman could be gone from this world.

My love and blessings to you all,

Tracy (Chase) Will

Dear Richie,Jen ,Jon and Marjorie,
I just learned today about Maryjane and I'm deeply saddened and shocked. I will miss her vitality and always good humor.HRH won't be the same without her. She was a wonderfully giving person. She shared her crafts, her cooking and her extensive knowledge. She was always cool and calm during one of our many crises. I will miss her cheerful voice.
Again my sympathy for your profound loss.

Dear Richie, Jennifer, Johnathan and Marjorie: When I think of what is a happy woman, I think of MaryJane. Her smile and her laugh embodied all that is good in life. MaryJane opened her house to us, fed us, laughed with us, and broke up fights between my brother and me. Some people are too special to stay with us. They wait for us in a better place. Love and condolences to all of you.

I
am sorry for your loss. I went to school with Mary Jane, I used to walk
to school with her when we were young kids. I can still remember
standing in the living room, waiting while she put her coat on, the
weatherman in the background, telling us about the rain ahead. When I
go to visit my parents, who live nearby where she grew up, I would look
at her old house and think of her. She was a very sweet soul back then,
and it is obvious from reading the words written about her, that she
continued to have a sweet soul throughout her life. God Bless Mary Jane
and all who love her. Patty

To the Leblanc family,

I was shocked and very saddened to read of the assing of your wife and mother, Mary Jane. I first met all of you at Christopher Heights, and then later at Nichols College. We still remember Jen's speech at her Commencement talking about her grandfather, when all of a sudden this big gust of wind blew through the tent! It left as quickly as it came, but we all knew that her grandfather was there that day. (I still get goose bumps when telling this story!) I am beginning to believe that God is looking for younger angels so that they have longer to protect us. May His newest angel watch over you and your family.

With deepest sympathy,

Kathy Piniarski
