Maryjane,
We will always remember your Mother’s Love and thoughtfulness. When Elizabeth was just a little girl with chickenpox over the Holidays I remember the 3 of you bringing her the large rag doll to make her smile. She could hardly pick it up. Your Mother always remembered my love of the peanut butter fudge. She is now with the angels who love her too. Deb

Mary Jane, I am so sorry, particularly for you, but for your family as well. She was a great lady, and will be missed much.

Thank You Deb, I remember that rag doll well. Mom always wanted to take Elizabeth a doll when we would be seeing her.
Mary Jane
Thank You Joe. You were always one of her favorites at the Fire House. She would always say you and Kumi were the nicest people. She may not have known what Kumi was saying but she enjoyed her.
Mary Jane
Thank You Susan
