I am so very sorry for the loss of your sister, Mary Jane. I have such fond memories of her. I remember her beautiful singing voice. We were gathered at your home, in Crown Point. Mary Jane sang “Oh, Holy Night” for all of us. I fell in love with the song and every time I hear it, I think of Mary Jane. I remember all of the great times we had in Shelby. I especially liked the times Mary Jane, Patti, and I were allowed to hang out in Grandma’s and Grandpa’s trailer, by ourselves. We never ran out of things to talk about. When we were older, I drove to Crown Point from Shelby, to see Mary Jane. We walked downtown and met up with her best friend. According to her friend, I looked exactly like Mary Jane. Mary Jane and I had a good laugh later, as we examined ourselves in a mirror. We couldn’t find one similarity. Didn’t Mary Jane have a wonderful laugh? I feel so very bad that I lost touch with her. She holds a special place in my heart. I am very sorry that I am not able to come to Arizona to pay my respects in person. With all my love and prayers, Cousin Judy
May God comfort you in your sorrow.
MaryJane will be missed much. Beautiful woman.
God Bless.

Mary Jane became a friend of mine during her time in Galveston, Texas.
She had a great sense of humor and was fun to work with. Her friendship is one I will always cherish and miss.
The love she showed for her friends and dogs were unmatched.
Rest in peace Mary Jane
Mary Jane meant a great deal to me. She was funny, caring, loving, and had a heart as big as Texas. Mary Jane loved dogs. Any dog that lived with her had it made, she adored them and provided them with great care. Mary Jane would do anything for anyone, and she seldom wanted anything in return. I met her in Galveston, TX as well, we worked together. She would go to the local farmer’s market with my daughter (Brianna) and me, and she introduced me to how to be a food snob (laughing). We shared many lunches and dinners and shopped together. The world was blessed to have Mary Jane in it, if only for a while. I miss her so much.
